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 [bad word] so far 
And [bad word] for so long? 

If I speak, I am condemned 
If I stay silent, I am damned! 

I am the master of hundreds of workers 
They all look to me 
How can I abandon them, 
How can they live 
If I am not free? 

If I speak, I am condemned 
If I stay silent, I am damned! 

Who am I? 
Can I condemn this man to slavery 
Pretend I do not see 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 man? 
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 

Who am I? 
Who am I? 
I am Jean Valjean! 

And so Javert, you see it's [bad word]  
That man bears no more guilt than you! 
Who am I? 
24601!
