[00:16.41]What have I done? Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
[00:18.64]Become a thief in the night, become a dog on the run
[00:21.17]Have I fallen so far and is the hour so late
[00:23.78]That nothing remains but the cry of my hate?
[00:26.12]The cries in the dark that nobody hears
[00:28.58]Here where I stand at the turning of the years
[00:32.96]If there's another way to go
[00:35.51]I missed it twenty long years ago
[00:37.75]My life was a war that could never be won
[00:40.11]They gave me a number and murdered Valjean
[00:42.44]When they chained me and left me for dead
[00:44.60]Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
[00:57.92]Yet why did I allow this man
[01:01.23]To touch my soul and teach me love?
[01:05.82]He treated me like any other
[01:08.91]He gave me his trust, he called me brother
[01:14.30]My life he claims for God above
[01:17.43]Can such things be?
[01:21.26]For I had come to hate the world
[01:24.35]This world that always hated me
[01:29.15]Take an eye for an eye!
[01:32.66]Turn your heart into stone!
[01:36.40]This is all I have lived for!
[01:39.86]This is all I have known!
[01:48.22]One word from him and I'd be back
[01:51.31]Beneath the lash, upon the rack
[01:54.69]Instead he offers me my freedom
[01:57.66]I feel my shame inside me like a knife
[02:01.83]He told me that I had a soul
[02:05.00]How does he know?
[02:07.55]What spirit comes to move my life?
[02:11.30]Is there another way to go?
[02:19.64]I am reaching, but I fall
[02:26.23]And the night is closing in
[02:30.72]As I stare into the void
[02:35.17]To the whirlpool of my sin
[02:38.42]I'll escape now from that world
[02:42.42]From the world of Jean Valjean
[02:45.33]Jean Valjean is nothing now
[02:48.57]Another story must begin!
