JAVERT
 There, out in the darkness
 A fugitive running
 Fallen from God, fallen from grace
 God be my witness
 I never shall yield
 Till we come face to face
 Till we come face to face
 He knows his way in the dark
 But mine is the way of the Lord
 Those who follow the path of the righteous
 Shall have their reward
 And if they fall as Lucifer fell
 The flame, the sword
 Stars, in your multitudes
 Scarce to be counted
 Filling the darkness with order and light
 You are the sentinels
 Silent and sure
 Keeping watch in the night
 Keeping watch in the night
 You know your place in the sky
 You hold your course and your aim
 And each in your season returns and returns
 And is always the same
 And if you fall as Lucifer fell
 You fall in flame
 And so it must be
 For so it is written
 On the doorway to paradise
 That those who falter and those who fall
 Must pay the price
 Lord let me find him
 That I may see him
 Safe behind bars
 I will never rest
 Till then, this I swear
 This I swear by the stars!
 GAVROCHE
 That inspector thinks he's something
 But it's me that runs this town
 And my theater never closes
 And the curtain's never down
 Trust Gavroche, have no fear
 Don't you worry, auntie dear
 You can always find me here
