Valjean's Soliloquy |
Valjean |
What have I done? |
Sweet Jesus, what have I done? |
Become a thief in the night |
Become a dog on the run |
And have I fallen so far |
And is the hour so late |
That nothing remains but the cry of my hate, |
The cries in the dark that nobody hears, |
Here where I stand at the turning of the years? |
If there’s another way to go |
I missed it twenty long years ago |
My life was a war that could never be won |
They gave me a number and murdered Valjean |
When they chained me and left me for dead |
Just for stealing a mouthful of bread |
Yet why did I allow that man |
To touch my soul and teach me love? |
He treated me like any other |
He gave me his trust |
He called me brother |
My life he claims for God above |
Can such things be? |
For I had come to hate this world |
This world which had always hated me Take an eye for an eye! |
Turn your heart into stone! |
This is all I have lived for! |
This is all I have known! |
One word from him and I’d be back |
Beneath the lash, upon the rack |
Instead he offers me my freedom, |
I feel my shame inside me like a knife |
He told me that I have a soul, |
How does he know? |
What spirit came to move my life? |
Is there another way to go? |
I am reaching, but I fall |
And the night is closing in And I stare into the void |
To the whirlpool of my sin |
I’ll escape now from the world |
From the world of Jean Valjean |
Jean Valjean is nothing now |
Another story must begin! |
