0:00Valjean's Soliloquy (ヴァルジャンの独白) - John Owen-Jones
0:17What have I done sweet Jesus What have I done
0:19Become a thief in the night Become a dog on the run
0:21Have I fallen so far and is the so hour late
0:24That nothing remains but the cry of my hate
0:26The cries in the dark that nobody hears
0:29Here where I stand at the turning of the years
0:34If there's another way to go I missed it twenty long years ago
0:38My life was a war that could never be won
0:41They gave me a number murdered Valjean
0:43When the chained me and left me for dead
0:45Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
0:58Yet why did I allow that man to touch my soul and teach me love
1:06He treated me like any other
1:10He gave me his trust he called me "brother"
1:14My life he claims for God above Can such things be
1:22For I had come to hate the world this world that always hated me
1:30Take an eye for an eye turn your heart into stone
1:37This is all I have lived for this is all I have known
1:48One word from him and I'd be back beneath the lash upon the rack
1:55Instead he offers me my freedom
1:58I feel my shame inside me like a knife
2:02He told me that I had a soul How does he know
2:08What spirit comes to move my life Is there another way to go
2:20I am reaching but I fall and the night is closing in
2:31As I stare into the void to the whirlpool of my sin
2:39I'll escape now from that world from the world of Jean Valjean
2:46Jean Valjean is nothing now Another story must begin
Valjean's Soliloquy (ヴァルジャンの独白) - John Owen-Jones
What have I done sweet Jesus  What have I done
Become a thief in the night  Become a dog on the run
Have I fallen so far and is the so hour late
That nothing remains but the cry of my hate
The cries in the dark that nobody hears
Here where I stand at the turning of the years
If there's another way to go  I missed it twenty long years ago
My life was a war that could never be won
They gave me a number  murdered Valjean
When the chained me and left me for dead
Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
Yet why did I allow that man  to touch my soul and teach me love
He treated me like any other
He gave me his trust  he called me "brother"
My life he claims for God above  Can such things be
For I had come to hate the world  this world that always hated me
Take an eye for an eye  turn your heart into stone
This is all I have lived for  this is all I have known
One word from him and I'd be back  beneath the lash upon the rack
Instead he offers me my freedom
I feel my shame inside me like a knife
He told me that I had a soul  How does he know
What spirit comes to move my life  Is there another way to go
I am reaching but I fall  and the night is closing in
As I stare into the void  to the whirlpool of my sin
I'll escape now from that world  from the world of Jean Valjean
Jean Valjean is nothing now  Another story must begin
