Who Am I? Lyrics by Hugh Jackman

Les Misérables (The Motion Picture Soundtrack Deluxe) [Deluxe Edition]

2012

[VALJEAN]
They think that man is me
Without a second glance
The stranger they have found
This man could be my chance
Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right this wrong?
When I have come so far
And struggled 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
Can I abandon them, how would 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 feel his agony?
This innocent who wears 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 men?
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?
(spoken)
I'm Jean Valjean
[JUDGE, spoken]
Monsieur Mayor
[VALJEAN]
And so your Honor, you see it's true
This man bears no more guilt than you
Who am I? 24601!
