Look Down lyrics

Look down, look down

Don't look 'em in the eye

Look down, look down,

You're here until you die

Now prisoner 24601

Your time is up

And your parole's begun

You know what that means.

Yes, it means I'm free.

No!

Follow to the letter your itinerary

This badge of shame you'll show until you die

It warns you're a dangerous man

I stole a loaf of bread.

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 19 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 am 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.

Free at last,

How strange it is.

Never forget the years,

The waste.

Nor forgive them,

For what they've done!

They are the guilty!

Every one!

The day begins

And now let's see,

What this new world

Will do for me!
