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!
