Heaven's Light
"Heaven's Light" is a song from Disney's 1996 animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The song is sung by the film's protagonist Quasimodo, as he ponders on how his dreary life has changed after meeting the Romani woman Esmeralda. There is much heavenly imagery in this song, which juxtaposes it with Judge Claude Frollo's song "Hellfire", which occurs immediately afterwards, in which he considers her a demon who will damn him to hell.
Underlining the strong link between the two songs, the Norwegian version enclosed them in one track, giving only one title: "Himmel og Helvete" meaning "Heaven and Hell".
