Valjean 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? 24601!
