Les Misérables Prologue Lyrics

PRISONERS
Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye
Look down, look down, you're here until you die

CONVICT ONE
The sun is strong, it's hot as hell below

PRISONERS
Look down, look down, there's twenty years to go

CONVICT TWO
I've done no wrong, Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer

PRISONERS
Look down, look down, Sweet Jesus doesn't care

CONVICT THREE
I know she'll wait, I know that she'll be true

PRISONERS
Look down, look down, they've all forgotten you

CONVICT FOUR
When I get free, you won't see me here for dust

PRISONERS
Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye

CONVICT FIVE
How long, oh Lord, before you let me die?

PRISONERS
Look down, look down, you'll always be a slave
Look down, look down, you're standing in your grave

JAVERT
Now bring me prisoner two four six o one
Your time is up and your parole's begun
You know what that means

VALJEAN
Yes, it means I'm free

JAVERT
No, it means you get your yellow ticket-of-leave
You are a thief

VALJEAN
I stole a loaf of bread

JAVERT
You robbed a house

VALJEAN
I broke a window pane
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving

JAVERT
And you will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law

VALJEAN
I know the meaning of those 19 years
A slave of the law

JAVERT
Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, two four six o one

VALJEAN
My name is Jean Valjean

JAVERT
And I am Javert, do not forget my name
Do not forget me, two four six o one

CHORUS
Look down, look down, you'll always be a slave
Look down, look down, you're standing in your grave
