Valjean at last
We see each other plain
M sieur le Mayor
You'll wear a different chain
Before you say
another word Javert
Before you chain me up
like a slave again
Listen to me
There is something I must do
This woman leaves
behind a suffering child
There is none but me
who can intercede
In Mercy's name
three days are all I need
Then I'll return
I pledge my word
Then I'll return
You must think me mad
I've hunted you
across the years
Men like you can never change
A man such as you
Men like me can never change
Men like you can never change
No
24601
My duty's to the law
You have no rights
Come with me 24601
Now the wheel has turned around
Jean Valjean is nothing now
Dare you talk to me of crime
And the price you had to pay
Every man is born in sin
Every man must choose his way
You know nothing of Javert
I was born inside a jail
I was born with scum like you
I am from the gutter too
This I swear to you tonight
There is no place for you to hide
Your child will live within my care
Wherever you may hide away
And I will raise her to the light
I swear to you
I will be there
