Look Down

Look down, look down

Don't look 'em in the eye

Look down, look down

You're here until you die

Now bring me prisoner 24601

Your time is up and your parole's begun

You know what that means

Yes, it means I'm free, no

Follow to the letter your itinerary

This badge of shame you'll show until you die

It warns you're a dangerous man

I stole a loaf of bread

My sister's child was close to death

We were starving, you will starve again

Unless you learn the meaning of the law

I know the meaning of those nineteen years

A slave of the law

Five years for what you did

The rest because you tried to run

Yes, 24601

My name is Jean Valjean

And I am Javert

Do not forget my name

Do not forget me

24601

Look down, look down

You'll always be a slave

Look down, look down

You're standing in your grave

Freedom at last

How strange it is

Never forget the years

The waste

Nor forgive them

For what they've done

They are the guilty

Every one

The day begins

And now let's see

What this new world

Will do for me
