Bring Him Home from Les Misérables is featured in Diva, the thirteenth episode of Season Four. There are two versions of this song, sung by Kurt and Rachel individually.
It is sung because Kurt has challenged Rachel to a Diva-Off at 'Midnight Madness', at NYADA. Kurt sings first, as he was the one who decided upon the challenge. As Kurt sings the song, he has teary-eyes as he relates some of the lyrics to Rachel, who sits in the audience and watches him intently. The scene intercuts from Rachel to Kurt as they sing with the spotlight shining on them. Adam and Brody can also be seen watching the performances.
At the end of the song, everyone in the audience gives a silence applause as part of the rules, then stands besides the one who they thought won. It is announced, that just by a small margin of votes, Kurt has won the Diva-Off challenge.
Lyrics
Kurt:
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
Rachel:
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Kurt:
Bring him home
Rachel:
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
Kurt:
If God had granted me a son.
Kurt:
The summers
Rachel:
die
One by one
Kurt:
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
Rachel:
You can take
Kurt:
You can give
Rachel:
Let him live
Kurt:
Let him live
Rachel:
If I die
Kurt:
Let me die
Rachel:
Let him live
Kurt:
Bring him home
Rachel:
Bring him home
Kurt:
Bring him
Rachel:
Home.
Rachel/Kurt:
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.
Trivia
- This is the second Rachel-Kurt diva off after Defying Gravity in Wheels.
- Just like in their first diva-off, the performance also ends with Rachel belting out or singing the finale.
- It's similar to Rachel and Kurt's performance of Don't Cry for Me Argentina, as separate versions were released and they intersect in the episode.
- Even though the whole song from Les Misérables wasn't sung, the part that Glee did sing was fully featured in the episode.
