God Help the Outcasts
{ESMERALDA]
I don't know if you can hear me
Or if you're even there
I don't know if you would listen
To a gypsy's prayer

Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to you
Still I see your face and wonder
Were you once an outcast too?


God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on Earth

God help my people
We look to you still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will

[QUASIMODO]
God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on Earth
[MALE PARISHIONER]
I ask for wealth

[MALE PARISHIONER #2]
I ask for fame

[FEMALE PARISHIONER/MALE PARISHIONERS]
I ask for glory
To shine on my name

[ESMERALDA]
I ask for love
I can possess

[ESMERALDA/PARISHIONERS]
I ask for God and his angels
To bless me

[ESMERALDA]
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I

Please help my people
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
[QUASIMODO]
God help the outcasts

[ESMERALDA]
God help the outcasts
Children of God

[QUASIMODO]
Children of God

[ESMERALDA/QUASIMODO]
Children of God
