Lyrics
He thinks that man is me
Without a second glance!
The stranger they had found
This man could be my chance
Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right this wrong?
When I have come so far
And struggled for so long
If I speak, I am condemned
If I stay silent, I am damned
I am the master of hundreds of workers
They all look to me
Can I abandon them, how would they live
If I am not free?
If I speak, they are condemend
If I stay silent, I am damned...
Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery
Pretend I do not feel his agony
This innocent who bears my face
Who goes to judgement in my place
Who am I?
Can I conceal myself forever more
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
And must my name until I die
Be no more than an alibi
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow men
How can I ever face myself again
My soul belongs to God I know,
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on
Who am I?
Who am I?
I'm Jean Valjean!
And so your honor you see it's true
This man bears no more guilt than you
Who am I....
24601!
Without a second glance!
The stranger they had found
This man could be my chance
Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right this wrong?
When I have come so far
And struggled for so long
If I speak, I am condemned
If I stay silent, I am damned
I am the master of hundreds of workers
They all look to me
Can I abandon them, how would they live
If I am not free?
If I speak, they are condemend
If I stay silent, I am damned...
Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery
Pretend I do not feel his agony
This innocent who bears my face
Who goes to judgement in my place
Who am I?
Can I conceal myself forever more
Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
And must my name until I die
Be no more than an alibi
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow men
How can I ever face myself again
My soul belongs to God I know,
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
He gave me strength to journey on
Who am I?
Who am I?
I'm Jean Valjean!
And so your honor you see it's true
This man bears no more guilt than you
Who am I....
