The Confrontation (Live)

Valjean, at last We see each other plain 'M'sieur le Mayor You'll wear a different chain Before you say another word, Javert Before you chain me up like a slave again Listen to me! There is something I must do This woman leaves behind a suffering child There is none but me who can intercede In Mercy's name, three days are all I need Then I'll return, I pledge my word Then I'll return You must think me mad I've hunted you across the years A man like you can never change A man such as you Believe of me what you will There is a duty that I'm sworn to do You know nothing of my life All I did was steal some bread You know nothing of the world You would sooner see me dead But not before I see this justice done I am warning you Javert I'm a stronger man by far There is power in me yet My race is not yet run I am warning you Javert There is nothing I won't dare If I have to kill you here I'll do what must be done! And this I swear to you tonight There is no place for you to hide Your child will live within my care Wherever you may hide away And I will raise her to the light I swear to you, I will be there
