[1815, Toulon, France. The chain gang, overseen by
brutal warders, works in the sun.]
Prisoners
Look down, look down
Don`t look `em in the eye
Look down, look down,
You`re here until you die
The sun is strong
It`s hot as hell below
Look down, look down,
There`s twenty years to go
I`ve done no wrong!
Sweet Jesus hear my prayer!
Look down, look down,
Sweet Jesus doesn`t care
I know she`ll wait,
I know that she`ll be true!
Look down, look down,
They`ve all forgotten you
When I get free ya won`t see me
Here for dust!
Look down, look down
Don`t look `em in the eye
How long O Lord
Before you let me die?
Look down, look down,
You`ll always be a slave
Look down, look down,
You`re standing in your grave
Javert
Now bring me prisoner 24601
Your time is up
And your parole`s begun
You know what that means
Valjean
Yes, it means I`m free
Javert
NO!
It means you get
Your yellow ticket-of-leave
You are a theif
Valjean
I stole a loaf of bread!
Javert
You robbed a house!
Valjean
I broke a window pane!
My sister`s child was close to death
And we were starving!
Javert
And you will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law.
Valjean
I know the meaning of these 19 years
A slave of the law
Javert
Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes 24601
Valjean
My name is Jean Valjean
Javert
And I am Javert
Do not forget my name
Do not forget me
24601
