Who am I? Can I condemn this man to slavery Pretend I do not see his agony This innocent who wears 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!
