[01:43.98]Look down look down
[01:46.80]They've all forgotten you
[01:49.42]When I get free you won't see me
[01:52.56]Here for dust
[01:54.04]

[02:23.63]Yes it means I'm free
[02:25.75]
[02:26.63]NO
[02:27.69]It means you get
[02:28.50]Your yellow ticket-of-leave
[02:29.02]
[02:30.05]You are a thief
[02:31.09]I stole a loaf of bread
[02:32.27]You robbed a house
[02:33.64]I broke a window pane
[02:37.16]
[02:37.91]My sister's child was close to death
[02:40.73]And we were starving
[02:42.17]And you will starve again
[02:43.42]Unless you learn the meaning of the law
[02:46.11]I know the meaning of those 19 years
[02:49.23]A slave of the law
[02:53.80]Five years for what you did
[02:55.99]The rest because you tried to run
[02:58.05]Yes 24601
[03:00.11]My name is Jean Valjean
[03:03.05]And I am Javert
[03:05.55]Do not forget my name

[03:16.69]You will always be a slave
[03:19.58]Look down look down
[03:22.20]You're standing in your grave
[03:24.91]
[03:40.36]Freedom is mine The earth is still
[03:44.65]
[03:45.83]I feel the wind I breathe again
[03:50.71]And the sky clears the world is waking
[03:57.30]
[04:00.24]Drink from the pool How clean the taste
[04:04.54]
[04:05.22]Never forget the years the waste
[04:09.11]
[04:10.11]Nor forgive  for what they've done
[04:13.36]
[04:14.11]They are the guiltyeveryone
[04:18.30]
[04:19.48]The day begins
[04:20.86]And now let's see
[04:22.61]What this new world
[04:23.75]Will do for me
[04:27.31]
[04:38.19]You'll have to go
[04:39.19]I'll pay you off for the day
[04:40.73]Collect your bits and pieces there
[04:41.90]And be on your way
[04:43.83]You've given me half
[04:44.83]What the other men get
[04:46.33]This handful of tin
[04:47.21]Wouldn't buy my sweat
[04:48.83]You broke the law
[04:49.77]It's there for people to see
[04:51.14]Why should you get the same
[04:52.28]As honest men like me
[04:53.28]Right
[04:55.03]
[04:56.85]Now every door is closed to me
[04:58.29]Another jail another key another chain
[05:00.84]
[05:01.40]For when I come to any town
[05:02.58]They check my papers
[05:03.45]And they find the mark of Cain
[05:05.71]In their eyes I see their fear
[05:09.71]`We do not want you here'
[05:14.10]
[05:26.39]My rooms are full
[05:27.64]And I've no supper to spare
[05:29.51]I'd like to help a stranger
[05:30.31]
[05:30.83]All we want is to be fair
[05:33.33]I will pay in advance
[05:33.60]I can sleep in a barn
[05:35.54]You see how dark it is
[05:36.73]I'm not some kind of dog
[05:38.48]You leave my house
[05:39.54]Or feel the weight of my rod
[05:40.98]We're law-abiding people here
[05:41.67]
[05:42.94]Thanks be to God
[05:44.39]
[05:58.88]Now I know how freedom And feelsnow
[06:00.66]The jailer always at your heels
[06:01.84]It is the law
[06:03.34]This piece of paper in my hand
[06:04.60]That makes me cursed throughout the land
[06:05.91]It is the law
[06:07.48]Like a cur
[06:08.98]I walk the street
[06:11.97]The dirt beneath my feet
[06:16.10]
[06:20.41]Come in Sir for you are weary
[06:23.55]
[06:25.11]And the night is cold out there
[06:27.83]
[06:29.70]Though our lives are very humble
[06:33.27]What we have we have to share
[06:37.20]
[06:39.14]There is wine here to revive you
[06:42.46]
[06:43.46]There is bread to make you strong
[06:46.40]
[06:47.78]There's a bed to rest till morning
[06:51.09]Rest from pain and rest from wrong
[06:55.19]
[06:58.32]He let me eat my fill
[06:59.51]I had the lion's share
[07:01.84]The silver in my hand
[07:03.15]Cost twice what I had earned
[07:04.85]
[07:05.66]In all those nineteen years
[07:06.47]
[07:07.28]That lifetime of despair
[07:09.27]
[07:09.89]And yet he trusted me
[07:13.11]
[07:13.91]The old fool trusted me
[07:15.67]He's done his bit of good
[07:17.54]I played the grateful serf
[07:18.95]And thanked him like I should
[07:21.07]
[07:21.75]But when the house was still
[07:22.95]I got up in the night
[07:25.23]
[07:26.04]Took the silver
[07:27.78]Took my flight
[07:33.65]
[07:43.15]Tell his reverence your story
[07:44.75]Let us see if he's impressed
[07:46.88]You were lodging here last night
[07:48.69]You were the honest Bishop's guest
[07:50.81]And than out of Christian goodness
[07:52.75]When he learned about your plight
[07:54.72]You mantain he made a present of this sliver
[07:58.47]That is right
[07:59.72]
[08:00.27]But my friend you left so early
[08:03.19]Surley something slipped your mind
[08:06.13]You forgot I gave these also
[08:09.06]Would you leave the best behind
[08:12.57]
[08:13.32]So Messieurs you may release him
[08:16.75]For this man has spoken true
[08:19.26]I commend you for your duty
[08:22.01]And God's blessing go with you
[08:25.83]
[08:29.01]But remember this my brother
[08:32.77]
[08:33.89]See in this some higher plan
[08:37.61]
[08:38.86]You must use this precious silver
[08:42.55]To become an honest man
[08:46.74]
[08:48.24]By the witness of the martyrs
[08:52.49]By the Passion and the Blood
[08:55.80]
[08:56.56]God has raised you out of darkness
[08:59.63]
[09:00.26]I have bought your soul for God
