Prologue: What Have I Done?

[00:01.02] Les Miserables (Act 1)
[00:01.92] What Have I Done (Valjean's Soliloquy)
[00:03.73] Valjean
[00:19.11] What have I done?
[00:20.07] Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
[00:20.92] Become a thief in the night
[00:21.83] Become a dog on the run
[00:23.63] And have I fallen so far
[00:24.58] And is the hour so late
[00:25.45] That nothing remains but the cry of my hate,
[00:28.19] The cries in the dark that nobody hears,
[00:30.94] Here where I stand at the turning of the years?
[00:36.39] If there's another way to go
[00:38.17] I missed it twenty long years ago
[00:39.98] My life was a war that could never be won
[00:42.68] They gave me a number and murdered Valjean
[00:45.40] When they chained me and left me for dead
[00:47.23] Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
[00:50.87] Yet why did I allow that man
[01:05.37] To touch my soul and teach me love?
[01:09.86] He treated me like any other
[01:14.41] He gave me his trust
[01:16.24] He called me brother
[01:18.93] My life he claims for God above
[01:23.47] Can such things be?
[01:27.11] For I had come to hate this world
[01:32.55] This world which had always hated me
[01:36.18] Take an eye for an eye!
[01:39.83] Turn your heart into stone!
[01:44.39] This is all I have lived for!
[01:48.85] This is all I have known!
[01:49.16] One word from him and I'd be back
[02:03.61] Beneath the lash, upon the rack
[02:09.18] Instead he offers me my freedom,
[02:12.78] I feel my shame inside me like a knife
[02:18.19] He told me that I have a soul,
[02:21.71] How does he know?
[02:26.30] What spirit came to move my life?
[02:30.82] Is there another way to go?
[02:36.29] I am reaching, but I fall
[02:41.76] And the night is closing in
[02:46.22] And I stare into the void
[02:49.83] To the whirpool of my sin
[02:53.45] I'll escape now from the world
[02:57.10] From the world of Jean Valjean
[03:00.71] Jean Valjean is nothing now
[03:03.44] Another story must begin!
