He thinks that man is me,
He knew him at a glance.
The stranger he has found,
This man could be my chance.
Why should i save his hide?
Why should i right his 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.
Who am i, can i condemn this man to slavery
Pretend i do not feel his agony
This innocent who wears 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, my self 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 carry on
Who am i, i'm jeanvaljean
Who am i, 24601!
