Confrontation |
| Valjean, at last, |
| We see each other plain |
| 'M'sieur le Mayor,' |
| You’ll wear a different chain! |
| Before you say another word, Javert |
| Before you chain me up like a slave again |
| Listen to me! |
| There is something I must do. |
| This woman leaves behind a suffering child. |
| There is none but me who can intercede, |
| In Mercy’s name, three days are all I need. |
| Then I’ll return, I pledge my word. |
| Then I’ll return… |
| You must think me mad! |
| I’ve hunted you across the years |
| A man like you can never change |
| A man such as you. |
| Believe of me what you will |
| There is a duty that I’m sworn to do You know nothing of my life |
| All I did was steal some bread |
| You know nothing of the world |
| You would sooner see me dead |
| But not before I see this justice |
| Done |
| I am warning you Javert |
| I’m a stronger man by far |
| There is power in me yet |
| My race is not yet run |
| I am warning you Javert |
| There is nothing I won’t dare |
| If I have to kill you here |
| I’ll do what must be done! |
| Men like me can never change |
| Men like you can never change |
| No, |
| My duty’s to the law — you have no Rights |
| Come with me 24 601 |
| Now the wheel has turned around |
| Jean Valjean is nothing now |
| Dare you talk to me of crime |
| And the price you had to pay |
| Every man is born in sin |
| Every man must choose his way |
| You know nothing of Javert |
| I was born inside a jail |
| I was born with scum like you |
| I am from the gutter too! |
| And this I swear to you tonight |
| There is no place for you to hide |
| Your child will live within my care |
| Wherever you may hide away |
| And I will raise her to the light. |
| I swear to you, I will be there! |
