Chorus

Do you hear the people sing

Lost in the valley of the night

It is the music of a people

Who are climbing to the light



For the wretched of the earth

There is a flame that never dies

Even the darkest night will end

And the sun will rise.



They will live again in freedom

In the garden of the Lord

They will walk behind the plough-share

They will put away the sword

The chain will be broken

And all men will have their reward!



Will you join in our crusade?

Who will be strong and stand with me?

Somewhere beyond the barricade

Is there a world you long to see?

Do you hear the people sing

Say, do you hear the distant drums?

It is the future that they bring

When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?

Who will be strong and stand with me?

Somewhere beyond the barricade

Is there a world you long to see?

Do you hear the people sing

Say, do you hear the distant drums?

It is the future that they bring

When tomorrow comes!

Tomorrow comes!

Tomorrow comes!



[The curtain falls.]
