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? 24601!
