And does she bear that cross of all our human sin? Oh Notre Dame Please let me go beyond God's law Open the door of love inside Esmeralda Phoebus Belle Even though her eyes seem to lead us to Hell She may be more pure, more pure than words can tell But when she dances feelings come no man can quell Beneath her rainbow-colored dress there burns the well My promised one, please let me one more time be untrue Before in front of God and man, I marry you Who Would be the man who'd turn from her to save his soul To be with her I'd let the devil take me whole Oh Fleur-de-Lys I am a man who knows no law I go to open up the rose Esmeralda Quasimodo, Frollo and Phoebus She dances naked in my soul and sleep won't come And it's no use to pray this prayers to Notre-Dame Tell Who'd be the first to raise his hand and throw a stone I'd hang him high and laugh to see him die alone Oh Lucifer Please let me go beyond God's law And run my fingers through her hair Esmeralda My Heart If You Will Swear Fleur-de-Lys You mount your horse so straight and fair You look like you belong here So strong and right and four square No other man can compare Or maybe you don't really care Just look for pleasure out there And always get your share Is there a heart in you somewhere?

God you made the world all wrong I have nothing, he has all But I'll tell her all along He won't be there if she falls He was born to silk and lace To make love and to make war I was born without a face God what did you make me for? Tell me what side God is on Those whose silver buys the Host? Or those who pray to God alone Day and night, this Holy Ghost ? Can this Jesus we adore Save this blessings only for Those three Kings of gold and myrrh And leave the shepherds at the door ? God you made the world so wrong I'm so ugly, she's so fine I will love her my life long But she never will be mine I'm a priest Frollo I was a happy man until I saw your face I hid my need away in some dark secret place All that power of sex I kept down and I never let go I had only one design the truth of God and man to know Oh I'm priest and I love this girl I love with a love that destroys my world Against wind and the tide I could stand any shock Straight and proud like Notre-Dame upon her rock Then you stole in my heart and awakened desire I dream I'm inside you and I wake up on fire Oh I'm priest and I love this girl I love with a love that destroys my world I let no woman near, I suffered for God's care In the heart of the night I saw the lightning flare I looked out from my room, distracted from my prayer The day had just begun, and you were standing there Oh I'm priest and I love this girl I love with a love that destroys my world Oh I'm priest and I love this girl Heal me with your touch - or hurt me once again Make me suffer for my sin Just lead me on to Hell, and I'll deny my Christ For Hell, with you, is Paradise Oh I'm priest and I love this girl I love with a love that destroys my world Oh I'm priest and I love this girl This girl The birds they put in cages Esmeralda Will the birds they put in cages Ever ride upon the wind? Will the children life outrages Ever learn to love again? I lived my life like a swallow I arrived here with the springtime All the little streets I'd follow All the gypsy song were mine Where's my friend who rings the church bells? Where are you my Quasimodo? They will hang me as the light swells You can break these bars I know Quasimodo Esmeralda, have you left me? Do you hide yourself away? I have counted every hour I have missed you every day Have you left upon a journey With your handsome, shining soldier With no marriage, taking love free Like the gypsy girl you are? Have you died out in the small streets With no prayer to get to Heaven? There's a priest who counts your heartbeats If he comes near, you must run Esmeralda You remember at the street fair Quasimodo When they hurt me on the great wheel Esmeralda When you begged, I gave you water Quasimodo At your feet I had to kneel Quasimodo and Esmeralda  On that day our friendship started It will last as long as we live Once together never parted All we have to give we'll give Will the birds they put in cages Ever ride upon the wind? Will the children life outrages Ever learn to love again? Cast away Clopin Cast away Souls at bay It's our dream They betray Now they say We can't stay Prayers we pray Lost today Put the shade Of your skin With the shade Of my skin Put the song That you sing With the dance That I bring Refugees Downward bound Fill the streets Of your town Can't we make a world To which everyone belongs? Can't we make a world Without fears, Without frontiers? We're called names We're blamed We're kept down We are shamed In the night Torture comes Try to speak Without tongues My homeland I hold here In my heart Every near In your land I find tears Words that hurt Things to fear In my heart Summer dies From your gray Winter Skies Can't we make a world To which everyone belongs? Can't we make a world Without fears, Without frontiers? Cast away Souls at bay It's our dream They betray Now they say We can't stay Prayers we pray Lost today Cast away Cast away Dance my Esmeralda Quasimodo When the years have all come and gone They'll find beneath the ground Our bodies joined as one Showing how we were bound How much Quasimodo once loved Esmeralda the gypsy girl How he was marked by God above Just to help him to bear his cross Just to help him to bear his cross Eat my body and drink my blood Vultures of Montfaucon So that death more than his life could Join our two names as one Let my poor soul just fly away From the miseries of this earth Let my love find the light of day In the light of the universe In the light of the universe Dance my Esmeralda Sing my Esmeralda Dance just one more time for me You'll know I'll die for love of you Dance my Esmeralda Sing my Esmeralda Please let my poor soul fly free It is not death to die for you Dance my Esmeralda Sing my Esmeralda Please come sleep here in my arms You'll know I'll die for love of you Dance my Esmeralda Sing my Esmeralda Beyond, and beyond and beyond It is not death to die for you Dance my Esmeralda Sing my Esmeralda Please let my poor soul fly free It is not death to die for you
