"Bring Him Home" is a song from the musical "Les Misérables," written by Claude-Michel Schönberg (music) and Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel (lyrics), with an English adaptation by Herbert Kretzmer. The song serves as a heartfelt plea and prayer by Jean Valjean for the safety and well-being of Marius, the young man he has come to love as a son.

Bring Him Home Lyrics

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
