nice song... Bring Him Home from the Les Miserables musical. Recently uncovered the discs in my home. Instrumental sounds and recording quality abit weird(well, it was recorded in 1985) but the songs are quite moving.


The song's about an old man praying for a young man to come home from war safely. Incidentally, he's interested in the old man's daughter.


God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.

Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy

You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
