The Confrontation Lyrics

[00:00.18] Valjean, at last, we see each other plain
[00:06.29] Monsieur le Maire, you'll wear a different chain
[00:12.70] Before you say another word, Javert
[00:15.70] Before you chain me up like a slave again
[00:18.87] Listen to me, there is something I must do
[00:24.73] This woman leaves behind a suffering child
[00:27.87] There is none but me who can intercede
[00:30.82] In Mercy's name, three days are all I need
[00:37.05] Then I'll return, I pledge my word
[00:40.05] Then I'll return
[00:40.69] You must think me mad
[00:42.98] I've hunted you across the years
[00:45.97] Men like you can never change
[00:48.57] A man such as you
[00:54.76] (Men like you can never change) believe of me what you will
[00:57.83] (Men like me can never change) there is a duty I'm sworn to do
[01:00.61] (No, two-four-six-zero-one) you know nothing of my life
[01:03.56] All I did was steal some bread
[01:05.24] (My duty's to the law, you have no rights) you know nothing of the world
[01:08.99] (Come with me two-four-six-zero-one) you would sooner see me dead
[01:11.75] (Now the wheel has turned around) but not before I see this justice done
[01:14.89] (Jean Valjean means nothing now)
[01:17.32] (Dare you talk to me of crime) I am warning you Javert
[01:20.19] (And the price you had to pay) I'm a stronger man by far
[01:22.73] There is power in me yet (every man is born in sin)
[01:25.78] My race is not yet run (every man must choose his way)
[01:28.75] You know nothing of Javert
[01:31.23] I was born inside a jail
[01:34.08] I was born with scum like you
[01:36.87] I am from the gutter too
[01:41.96]
