Who Am I?-The Trial-Claude-Michel Schönberg

[00:04.872]He thinks that man is me! [00:16.888]He knew him at a glance! [00:19.631]That stranger he has found [00:21.668]This man could be my chance [00:24.281]Why should I save his hide [00:26.083]Why should I right this wrong [00:29.061]When I have come so far [00:31.073]And struggled for so long? [00:35.853]If I speak, I am condemned [00:42.331]If I stay silent, I am damned! [00:49.411]I am the master of hundreds of workers [00:52.362]They all look to me [00:54.766]How can I abandon them, how can they live [00:59.180]If I am not free? [01:03.386]If I speak, I am condemned [01:11.223]If I stay silent, I am damned! [01:26.687]Who am I? [01:29.221]Can I condemn this man to slavery [01:33.401]Pretend I do not see his agony [01:37.737]This innocent who bears my face [01:39.331]Who goes to judgement in my place [01:41.394]Who am I? [01:43.380]Can I conceal myself for evermore? [01:47.115]Pretend I'm not the man I was before? [01:51.660]And must my name until I die [01:53.358]Be no more than an alibi? [01:55.370]Must I lie? [01:57.433]How can I ever face my fellow man? [02:00.333]How can I ever face myself again? [02:04.330]My soul belongs to God, I know [02:06.942]I made that bargain long ago [02:08.980]He gave me hope, when hope was gone [02:13.081]He gave me strength to journey on [02:17.156][He steps in front of the court] [02:17.861]Who am I? [02:24.392]Who am I? [02:25.750]I am Jean Valjean! [02:29.407][He unbuttons his shirt to reveal the number tattooed to his [02:30.766]chest.] [02:32.255]And so Javert, you see it's true, [02:35.128]That man bears no more guilt than you! [02:39.673]Who am I? [02:42.913]24601!
