Original Cast Who Am I? Lyrics

He thinks that man is me,
he knew him at a glance.
The stranger he has found,
This man could be my chance.
Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right his wrong?
When I have come so far,
And struggled for so long.
If I speak, I am condemned,
If I stay silent I am d___ed.

I am the master og houndreds of workers
they all look to me
Can I abandon them? How will they live?
If I am not free
If I speak, I am condemned,
If I stay silent I am d___ed.

Who am I, can I condemn this man to slavery
pretend I do not feel his agony
this innocent who wears my face
who goes to judgement in my place

Who am I?
Can I conceal myself forever more
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, my self 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 jouney on
Who am I? Who am I? I'm Jean Valjean!

And so Javert you'll se its true
That man bares no more guilt than you,
Who am I? 24601
