Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Valjean, at last, we see each other plain
"M'sieur le maire," you'll wear a different chain
[Verse 2]
Before you say another word, Javert
Before you chain me up like a slave again
Listen to me, there is somethin' I must do
[Verse 3]
This woman leaves behind a sufferin' child
There is none but me who can intercede
In mercy's name, three days are all I need
[Verse 4]
Then I'll return, I pledge my word
Then I'll return
[Verse 5]
You must think me mad
I've hunted you across the years
Men like you can never change
A man, such as you
[Verse 6]
Believe of me, what you will
Men like me can never change
There is a duty that I'm sworn to do
Men like you can never change
You know nothin' of my life
No, 24601
All I did was steal some bread
My duty's to the law, you have no rights
You know nothin' of the world
Come with me, 24601
You would sooner see me dead
Now the wheel has turned around
But not before I see this justice done
Jean Valjean is nothin' now
[Verse 7]
I am warnin' you, Javert
Dare you talk to me of crime
I'm a stronger man by far
And the price you had to pay
There is power in me yet
Every man is born in sin
My race is not yet run
Every man must choose his way
[Verse 8]
You know nothin' of Javert
I am warnin' you, Javert
There is nothin' I won't dare
I was born inside a jail
If I have to kill you here
I was born with scum like you
I'll do what must be done
I am from the gutter, too
[Verse 9]
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
I will raise her to the light
I swear to you, I will be there
