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! When I get free, ya won't see me; Here for dust! Look down, look down; Don't look 'em in the eye. How long, O'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 theif. 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'll starve again; Unless you learn the meaning of the law. I know the meaning of those 19 years; A slave of the law. 5 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.
