• Who Am I? / The Trial

He thinks that man is me!
He knew him at a glance!
That 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
How can I abandon them,
How can they live
If I am not free?

If I speak, I am condemned
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 for evermore?
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 man?
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 am Jean Valjean!

And so Javert, you see it's true,
That man bears no more guilt than you!
Who am I?
24601!
