Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down
You're here until you die
The sun, is strong
It's hot as hell below
Look down, look down
There's twenty years to go
I've done, no wrong
Sweet Jesus hear my prayer
Look down, look down
Sweet Jesus doesn't care
I know, she'll wait
I know that she'll be true
Look down, look down
They've all forgotten you
(CON 3)
When I get free, you won't see me
Here for dust
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
How long, oh lord
Before you let me die?
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
Now bring me prisoner 24601
Your time is up and your parole's begun
You know what that means
Yes, it means I'm free
No!
It means you get your yellow ticket of leave
You are a thief
I stole a loaf of bread
You robbed a house
I broke a window pane
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving
You will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law
I know the meaning of those nineteen years
A slave, of the law
Five years for what you did,
The rest because you tried to run
Yes 24601
My name is Jean Valjean
And I'm Javert
Do not forget my name
Do not forget me
24601
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
