[VALJEAN]
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 hour so 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 20 long years ago
My life was a war
That could never be won
They gave me a number
And they murdered Valjean
When they chained me and left me for dead
Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
Yet why did I allow this 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
What have I done, sweet Jesus?
