I'm Martin Guerre (Reprise)

Look, I'm Martin Guerre

That's what I said

You thought me dead

When I arrived

Yes, I'm Martin Guerre

When I appeared

You danced and cheered

That I'd survived

Now you will see

A man can choose to be free

You all look for someone to blame

But I swear it aloud, I will be proud

That Martin Guerre is my name

I'm a Protestant, sir

This is true, I confess

I have lied for my faith

I've been tortured for less

And no one took the blame

I'm not here to judge your faith

But whether you've stolen a name

Look, I'm Martin Guerre

The Lord above

The Lord I love

Has kept me strong

Yes, I'm Martin Guerre

I'll stand my ground

For now I've found

Where I belong

Now you will see

A man can choose to be free

You all look for someone to blame

But I swear it aloud, I will be proud

That Martin Guerre is my name

But can't you see the Devil's eyes my Lord

Don't trust a man whose life is such a fraud

He stole our name and he abused a wife

Is it too much to ask, to take his life!

Let him live, he's the best of us

He's a witch and nothing more

Bless his soul

Yet he has no soul to bless

He has courage in his heart

We were tricked

He has courage in his soul

And if you want the truth

It's true, we all are Protestants like him

It's a court, not a church, I'm a judge, not a priest

All I want is the truth, to above all be fair

And your God-fearing fights have no place in this room

It is time that you speak now

Madame Bertrande Guerre

Madame, what is the truth?
