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
2
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?
3
Must I lie?
How can I ever face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?
4
And so Javert,
you see it's true.
That man bears no more guilt than you!
5
Who am I?

Jean Valjean
Monsieur Le Maire
Mr. Mayor
