Who Am I? Lyrics

[00:03.83] He thinks that man is me
[00:06.67] He knew him at a glance!
[00:09.27] That stranger he has found
[00:11.05] This man could be my chance!
[00:14.46] Why should I save his hide?
[00:15.91] Why should I right this wrong
[00:19.17] When I have come so far
[00:20.99] And struggled for so long?
[00:25.16] If I speak, I am condemned
[00:31.56] If I stay silent, I am damned!
[00:37.53] I am the master of hundreds of workers
[00:40.95] They all look to me
[00:44.20] Can I abandon them?
[00:45.89] How would they live
[00:47.64] If I am not free?
[00:52.90] If I speak, I am condemned
[00:59.33] If I stay silent, I am damned!
[01:13.19] Who am I?
[01:15.11] Can I condemn this man to slavery
[01:18.57] Pretend I do not feel his agony
[01:23.75] This innocent who bears my face
[01:25.57] Who goes to judgement in my place
[01:27.62] Who am I?
[01:29.16] Can I conceal myself for evermore?
[01:32.83] Pretend I'm not the man I was before?
[01:38.03] And must my name until I die
[01:39.85] Be no more than an alibi?
[01:41.80] Must I lie?
[01:43.70] How can I ever face my fellow men?
[01:47.01] How can I ever face myself again?
[01:52.02] My soul belongs to God, I know
[01:53.83] I made that bargain long ago
[01:55.99] He gave me hope when hope was gone
[01:59.08] He gave me strength to journey on
[02:04.28] Who am I? Who am I?
[02:12.85] I'm Jean Valjean!
[02:21.10] And so Javert, you see it's true
[02:24.53] That man bears no more guilt than you!
[02:29.65] Who am I?
[02:33.87] 24601!
[02:43.29]
