Who Am I? - Live

Lyrics

He thinks that man is me
 Without a second glance
 The 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 condemned
 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, they are condemned
 If I stay silent, I am damned
 Who am I?
 Can I condemn this man to slavery
 Pretend I do not feel his agony
 This innocent who wears my face
 Who goes to judgement in my place
 Who am I?
 Can I conceal myself for evermore?
 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?
