Valjean at last
We see each other plain
M'sieur le Mayor
You'll wear a different chain
Before you say another word
Before you chain me up
like a slave again
Listen to me There is something
I must do
This woman leaves behind
a suffering child
There is none but me
who can intercede
In Mercy's name
three days are all I need
Then I'll return
I pledge my word
Then I'll return
You must think me mad
I've hunted you across the years
A man like you can never change
A man such as you
Believe of me what you will
There is a duty that
I'm sworn to do
You know nothing of my life
All I did was steal some bread
You know nothing of the world
You would sooner see me dead
But not before
I see this justicedone
I am warning you Javert
I'm a stronger man by far
There is power in me yet
My race is not yet run
You know nothing of Javert
I was born inside a jail
I was born with scum like you
I am from the gutter too
