Miserables, Les (Related Recordings) - Who Am I? lyrics

He thinks that man is me,

he knew him at a glance.

The 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

can i abandon them, how would they live

if i am not free?

if i speak, i am condemend

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 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

he gave me strength to journey on

Who am i?

who am i?

i'm Jean Valjean!

And so Javert you see it's true

That man bears no more guilt than you

who am i....24601!
