Valjean, at last, we see each other plain
Monsieur le Maire, you'll wear a different chain
Before you say another word, Javert
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
Men like you can never change
A man such as you
(Men like you can never change) believe of me what you will
(Men like me can never change) there is a duty I'm sworn to do
(No, two-four-six-zero-one) you know nothing of my life
All I did was steal some bread
(My duty's to the law, you have no rights) you know nothing of the world
(Come with me two-four-six-zero-one) you would sooner see me dead
(Now the wheel has turned around) but not before I see this justice done
(Jean Valjean means nothing now)
(Dare you talk to me of crime) I am warning you Javert
(And the price you had to pay) I'm a stronger man by far
There is power in me yet (every man is born in sin)
My race is not yet run (every man must choose his way)
You know nothing of Javert
I was born inside a jail
I was born with scum like you
I am from the gutter too
