The door slams, Frollo has left
Esmeralda is alone in the church
We hear the parishioners singing in choir
This is the scene between Esmeralda and the archdeacon
ย
Esmeralda goes to the statue
She says, "I don't know how to do this
I don't know if you would listen to my prayer."
God help the outcasts, hungry from birth
Show us the mercy we don't find on Earth
God help the outcasts, poor and downtrod
I thought we all were the children of God
I thought we all were the children of God
And one of the parishioners, a little girl
A little ragamuffin girl comes to Esmeralda and sings
Someday, ah da da da da
Ah da da da da
Ah da da da
Another parishioner, perhaps a beggar man, comes to her
Someday I pray we may yet live
To live and let live
More of the poor parishioners come to her
Someday, kind will be now down
Ah da da da da
Ah da da da
New lyric here, obviously
ย
Godspeed this bright millennium
On its way, let it come someday
And Esmeralda sings
Someday, when we are wiser
When the world's older, when we have learned
Someday, mankind will be kinder
Justice, blinder
And the parishioners join with her
Someday, our fight will be won then
We'll walk in the sun then, that bright afternoon
Esmeralda solo
'Til then, on days when the sun is gone
I'll hang on, wish upon the moon
And they all sing together
Change will come, one day
Someday
Esmeralda solo
Someday
And singing "ahs," the voices of the parishioners
Swell up around her through the church
