Look down, look down

Don't look 'em in the eye

Look down, look down,

You're here until you die

Now prisoner 24601

Your time is up

And your parole's begun

You know what that means.

Yes, it means I'm free.

No!

Follow to the letter your itinerary

This badge of shame you'll show until you die

It warns you're a dangerous man

I stole a loaf of bread.

My sister's child was close to death

And we were starving.

You will starve again

Unless you learn the meaning of the law.

I know the meaning of those 19 years

A slave of the law

Five years for what you did

The rest because you tried to run

Yes, 24601.

My name is Jean Valjean

And I am Javert

Do not forget my name!

Do not forget me,24601.

Look down, look down

You'll always be a slave

Look down, look down

You're standing in your grave.

freedom at last

how strange the taste!

never forget the years the waste

not forgive them for what they’ve done

they are the guilty,everyone!

the day begins and now let’s see

what this new world will do for me
