	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, oh 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
	Now bring me prisoner 24601
	Your time is up
	And your parole's begun
	You know what that means.
	Yes, it means I'm free.
	No!
	It means you get
	Your yellow ticket-of-leave
	You are a thief
	I stole a loaf of bread.
	You robbed a house.
	I broke a window pane.
	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.
