Who Am I |
He thinks that man is me |
He knew him at a glance! |
That stranger he has 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 |
How can I abandon them? |
How would they live |
If I am not free? |
If I speak, I am condemned |
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 for evermore? |
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 am Jean Valjean! |
And so Javert, you see it’s true |
That man bears no more guilt than you! |
Who am I? |
