alain boublil - who am i? lyrics
[valjean]
he thinks that man is me
he knew him at a glance!
that 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 d-mned!
i am the master of hundreds of workers
they all look to me
how can i abandon them?
how would they live
if i am not free?
if i speak, i am condemned
if i stay silent, i am d-mned!
who am i?
can i condemn this man to slavery
pretend i do not feel his agony
this innocent who bears 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
[he appears in front of the court]
who am i? who am i?
i am jean valjean!
[he unb-ttons his shirt to reveal the number tattooed to his chest]
and so javert, you see it’s true
that man bears no more guilt than you!
who am i?
