Lyricist: Composer:
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 can 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 see 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 man?
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?
