Who Am I

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 damned. 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 carry on Who am i, i'm jeanvaljean Who am i, 24601!
