(+) Who Am I? (From "Les Miserables'')
They think that man is me
Without a second glance!
The stranger they have 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, They are condemned.
If I stay silent, I am damned!
Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery?
Pretend I do not feel 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 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 am Jean Valjean!
And so your Honor, you see it's true
This man bears no more guilt than you!
Who am I?
