[ti:Valjean's Soliloquy]
[00:18.23]What have I done?
[00:19.14]Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
[00:20.41]Become a thief in the night,
[00:21.63]Become a dog on the run
[00:23.10]Have I fallen so far,
[00:24.07]And is the hour so late
[00:25.78]That nothing remains but the cry of my hate,
[00:28.07]The cries in the dark that nobody hears,
[00:30.66]Here where I stand at the turning of the years?
[00:35.59]If there's another way to go
[00:37.98]I missed it twenty long years ago
[00:40.37]My life was a war that could never be won
[00:42.50]They gave me a number and murdered Valjean
[00:43.92]When they chained me and left me for dead
[00:47.13]Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
[01:03.91]Yet why did I allow that man
[01:08.33]To touch my soul and teach me love?
[01:12.75]He treated me like any other
[01:16.72]He gave me his trust
[01:18.86]He called me brother
[01:22.00]My life he claims for God above
[01:26.93]Can such things be?
[01:30.90]For I had come to hate the world
[01:35.48]This world that always hated me
[01:40.05]Take an eye for an eye!
[01:44.07]Turn your heart into stone!
[01:47.88]This is all I have lived for!
[01:51.80]This is all I have known!
[02:03.18]One word from him and I'd be back
[02:07.25]Beneath the lash, upon the rack
[02:11.06]Instead he offers me my freedom
[02:14.98]I feel my shame inside me like a knife
[02:19.76]He told me that I have a soul,
[02:23.97]How does he know?
[02:28.19]What spirit comes to move my life?
[02:32.82]Is there another way to go?
[02:40.39]I am reaching, but I fall
[02:45.83]And the night is closing in
[02:49.69]And I stare into the void
[02:53.10]To the whirlpool of my sin
[02:56.66]I'll escape now from the world
[02:59.81]From the world of Jean Valjean
[03:02.76]Jean Valjean is nothing now
[03:05.96]Another story must begin!
