Les Miserables
WHO AM I? (The Trial)
Valjean
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
[He steps in front of the court]
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am Jean Valjean!
[He unbuttons his shirt to reveal the number tattooed to his chest.]
And so Javert, you see it's true,
That man bears no more guilt than you!
Who am I?
24601!

If I speak, I am condemned

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

Les Mis is WAY up there on my list. I love that show. However, if you haven't
seen Miss Saigon, I'd HIGHLY recommend it. It's just slighty above Les Mis on
my list. The show is phenominal!
