[prisoners]
aaah, aah, aaaahhhh
aaah, aah, aaaahhhh
aaah, aah, aaaahhhh
aaah, aah, aaaahhhh

look down, look down
don’t look ’em in the eye
look down, look down
you’re here until you die

[prisoner #1]
the sun is strong
it’s hot as h-ll below

[prisoners]
look down, look down
there’s twenty years to go

[prisoner #2]
i’ve done no wrong
sweet jesus, hear my prayer

[prisoners]
look down, look down
sweet jesus doesn’t care

[prisoner #3]
i know she’ll wait
i know that she’ll be true

[prisoners]
look down, look down
they’ve all forgotten you

[prisoner #4]
when i get free you won’t see me
here for dust

[prisoners]
look down, look down
don’t look ’em in the eye

[prisoner #5]
how long, oh lord
before you let me die?

[prisoners]
look down, look down
you’ll always be a slave
look down, look down
you’re standing in your grave

[javert]
now bring me prisoner 24601
your time is up
and your parole’s begun
you know what that means

[valjean]
yes, it means i’m free

[javert]
no!
it means you get your yellow ticket-of-leave
you are a thief

[valjean]
i stole a loaf of bread

[javert]
you robbed a house!

[valjean]
i broke a window pane
my sister’s child was close to death
and we were starving

[javert]
you will starve again
unless you learn the meaning of the law

[valjean]
i know the meaning of those nineteen years
a slave of the law

[javert]
five years for what you did
the rest because you tried to run
yes, 24601

[valjean]
my name is jean valjean!

[javert]
and i am javert
do not forget my name
do not forget me, 24601
