Look Down

Look down, look down

Don't look 'em in the eye

Look down, look down,

You're here until you die

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!

For long to the left of your itinerary.

this badge of shame you'll show it 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.
