| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | What Have I Done (Valjeans Soliloquy) | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 13 | | | | Lyrics: | Valjean
What have I done?
Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
Become a thief in the
night
Become a dog on the run
And 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 twenty long
years ago
My life was a war that could never be won
They gave me a number and murdered
Valjean
When they 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 this world
This world which had 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 have a soul,
How does he know?
What spirit came to move my life?
Is there
another way to go?
I am reaching, but I fall
And the night is closing in
And I stare
into the void
To the whirpool of my sin
I'll escape now from the world
From the world of
Jean Valjean
Jean Valjean is nothing now
Another story must begin!
[He tears up his
yellow ticket-of-leave.] | | | |
