Who Am I - Alfie Boe

He thinks that man is me

Without a second glance

This stranger he has found

This man could be my chance

Why should I save his hide

Why should I right this wrong

When I have come so far

And struggled for so long

If I speak I am condemned

If I stay silent I am damned

I am the master of hundred of workers

They all look to me

Can I abandon them

How will they live if I am not free

If I speak they are condemned

If I stay silent I am damned

Who am I

Can I condemn this man to slavery

Pretend I do not feel his agony

This innocent who wears my face

Who goes to judgement in my place

Who am I

Can I conceal myself forever more

Pretend I'm not the man I was before

And must my name until I die be no more than an allibi

Must I lie

How can I ever face my fellow man

How can I ever face myself again

My soul belongs to God I know

I made that bargain long ago

He gave me hope when hope was gone

He gave me strength to journey on

Who am I Who am I I'm Jean Valjean

And so today you see it's true

This man bears no more guilt than you
