Who Am I?

He thinks that man is me; he knew him at a glance. That stranger he has found, this man could be my chance. Why should I save his hide? Why should I right this wrong? When I have come so far and struggled for so long! If I speak, I am condemed. If I stay silent, I am damned! I am the master of hundreds of workers; they all look to me! Can I abandon them; how would they live if I am not free? If I speak, I am condemed. If I stay silent, I am damned. Who am I? Can I condem this man to slavery, pretend I do not see his agony? This innocent who bears my face, who goes to judgement in my place. Who am I? Can I conceal myself forevermore, 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'm Jean Valjean! And so Javert, you see it's true; this man bears no more guilt than you! Who am I? 2-4-6-oh-1!
