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 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 myself again?
My soul belongs to God, I know
I made that bargain long ago
He gave me hope when hope was gone
/7 -5
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?
