Do You Hear the People Sing? was sung at the Govenors Ball hosted by Trump and Melania. A song of rebellion. [View all]

From Les Miserables. Someone pulled a fast one on Trump.



The song is a revolutionary call for people to overcome adversity. The "barricades" referred to in the song are erected by the rebel students in the streets of Paris in the musical's second act. They are to draw the National Guard into combat and ignite a civilian uprising to overthrow the government, but their rebellion eventually fails. In the finale, the song transitions into a solemn hymn in which a world full of peace, freedom, and liberation is anticipated for all mankind.
