Look Down

Look Down

Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye

Look down, look down
You're here until you die

No God above
And Hell alone 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
You'll always be a slave

Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave

[JAVERT]
Now bring me prisoner 24601
Your time is up and your parole's begun
You know what that means

[VALJEAN]
Yes, it means I'm free

[JAVERT]
No!
Follow to the letter your itinerary
This badge of shame you'll show it until you die
It warns you're a dangerous man

[VALJEAN]
I stole a loaf of bread
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving

[JAVERT]
You will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law

[VALJEAN]
I know the meaning of those 19 years
A slave of the law

[JAVERT]
Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 24601

[VALJEAN]
My name is Jean Valjean

[JAVERT]
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
