Valjean's Soliloquy

[ti:Valjean's Soliloquy]
[00:18.23] What have I done?
[00:19.14] Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
[00:20.41] Become a thief in the night,
[00:21.63] Become a dog on the run
[00:23.10] Have I fallen so far,
[00:24.07] And is the hour so late
[00:25.78] That nothing remains but the cry of my hate,
[00:28.07] The cries in the dark that nobody hears,
[00:30.66] Here where I stand at the turning of the years?
[00:35.59] If there's another way to go
[00:37.98] I missed it twenty long years ago
[00:40.37] My life was a war that could never be won
[00:42.50] They gave me a number and murdered Valjean
[00:43.92] When they chained me and left me for dead
[00:47.13] Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
[01:03.91] Yet why did I allow that man
[01:08.33] To touch my soul and teach me love?
[01:12.75] He treated me like any other
[01:16.72] He gave me his trust
[01:18.86] He called me brother
[01:22.00] My life he claims for God above
[01:26.93] Can such things be?
[01:30.90] For I had come to hate the world
[01:35.48] This world that always hated me
[01:40.05] Take an eye for an eye!
[01:44.07] Turn your heart into stone!
[01:47.88] This is all I have lived for!
[01:51.80] This is all I have known!
[02:03.18] One word from him and I'd be back
[02:07.25] Beneath the lash, upon the rack
[02:11.06] Instead he offers me my freedom
[02:14.98] I feel my shame inside me like a knife
[02:19.76] He told me that I have a soul,
[02:23.97] How does he know?
[02:28.19] What spirit comes to move my life?
[02:32.82] Is there another way to go?
[02:40.39] I am reaching, but I fall
[02:45.83] And the night is closing in
[02:49.69] And I stare into the void
[02:53.10] To the whirlpool of my sin
[02:56.66] I'll escape now from the world
[02:59.81] From the world of Jean Valjean
[03:02.76] Jean Valjean is nothing now
[03:05.96] Another story must begin!
