Who Am I? John Owen-Jones

[VALJEAN]
He thought that man was me
Without a second glance
This stranger he has found
This man could be my chance

Why should I save his hide?
Why should I right this wrong?
When I have come so far
And struggled for so long?

If I speak, I am condemned
If I stay silent, I am damned!

I am the master of hundreds of workers
They all look to me
Can I abandon them?
How will they live if I am not free?

If I speak, they am condemned
If I stay silent, I am damned

Who am I?
Can I condemn this man to slavery?
Pretend I do not feel his agony?
This innocent who wears my face
Who goes to judgement in my place
