The Hunchback of Notre Dame the Musical - God Help the Outcasts Lyrics

CHOIR
Salve regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
In hac lacrimarum valle ...

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
They look to You, still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will ...


CONGRAGANTS
I ask for wealth
I ask for fame
I ask for glory to shine on my name
I ask for love I can possess
(All I ask)
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 (Choir: Amen)
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
God help the outcasts
Children of God
Children of God
