[ti:On Parole/The Bishop]
[00:01.75] ~Valjean~
[00:03.48] Freedom is mine. The earth is still.
[00:10.49] I feel the wind. I breathe again.
[00:15.99] And the sky clears, the world is waking.
[00:25.09] Drink from the pool. How clean the taste
[00:30.68] Never forget the years, the waste.
[00:36.11] Nor forgive them, for what they've done.
[00:40.23] They are the guilty, everyone.
[00:45.51] The day begins...
[00:47.24] And now lets see
[00:49.94] What this new world
[00:51.46] Will do for me!
[01:09.97] ~Employer~
[01:10.83] You'll have to go
[01:12.00] I'll pay you off for the day
[01:13.52] Collect your bits and pieces there
[01:14.64] And be on your way.
[01:16.27] ~Valjean~
[01:16.47] You've given me half
[01:17.18] What the other men get!
[01:18.55] This handful of tin
[01:19.26] Wouldn't buy my sweat!
[01:20.53] ~Laborer~
[01:20.74] You broke the law
[01:22.11] It's there for people to see
[01:23.74] Why should you get the same
[01:24.75] As honest men like me?
[01:30.25] ~Valjean~
[01:30.45] Now I know how freedom feels
[01:31.51] The jail is always at your heels
[01:32.73] It is the law
[01:35.20] This piece of paper in my hand which bids me cast throughout the land
[01:37.69] It is the law
[01:39.47] Like a cur
[01:40.89] I walk the streets
[01:44.12] The dirt beneath their feet
[01:50.07] ~Bishop~
[01:54.45] Come in sir for you are weary
[02:00.09] And the night is cold out there
[02:05.63] Though our lives are very humble
[02:09.64] What we have we have to share
[02:16.25] There is wine here to revive you
[02:21.84] There is bread to make you strong
[02:27.03] There's a bed to rest till morning
[02:31.48] Rest from pain and rest from wrong
[02:39.20] ~Valjean~
[02:40.01] He let me eat my fill
[02:41.84] I have the lion's share
[02:44.61] The silver in my hand cost twice what I had earned
[02:48.68] In all those nineteen years, that lifetime of despair
[02:53.05] And yet he trusted me
[02:57.25] The old fool trusted me
[02:58.82] He'd done his bit of good
[03:01.47] I played the grateful serf, and thanked him like I should
[03:05.84] But when the house was still
[03:07.36] I got up in the night
[03:10.21] Took the silver
[03:13.21] Took my flight!!
[03:25.10] Taking the silver cup, he runs off, but is brought back
[03:26.88] by two constables.
[03:27.49] ~Constable 1~
[03:28.61] Tell his reverence your story
[03:30.28] ~Constable 2~
[03:30.89] Let us see if he's impressed
[03:32.01] ~Constable 1~
[03:32.72] You were lodging there last night
[03:33.89] ~Constable 2~
[03:34.30] You were the honest Bishop's guest.
[03:36.02] ~Constable 1~
[03:36.48] And then, out of Christian goodness
[03:37.80] ~Constable 2~
[03:38.46] When he learned about your plight
[03:40.18] ~Constable 1~
[03:40.59] You maintain he made a present of this silver -
[03:42.93] ~Bishop~
[03:43.49] That is right.
[03:46.13] But my friend you left so early
[03:49.49] Surely something slipped your mind
[03:52.79] You forgot I gave these also
[03:56.30] Would you leave the best behind?
[04:01.99] So Messieurs you may release him
[04:06.33] For this man has spoken true
[04:09.03] I commend you for your duty
[04:13.04] And God's blessing go with you.
[04:21.22] But remember this, my brother
[04:26.66] See in this some higher plan
[04:32.40] You must use this precious silver
[04:36.56] To become an honest man
[04:43.42] By the witness of the martyrs
[04:49.06] By the Passion and the Blood
[04:54.55] God has raised you out of darkness
[04:59.63] I have bought your soul for God!
