Lyrics Les Miserables - Look Down

[Jean Valjean]
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye

[The Convicts]
Look down, look down,
You're here until you die

[Javer]
Now prisoner 24601
Your time is up
And your parole's begun
You know what that means.

[Jean Valjean]
Yes, it means I'm free

[Javer]
No!
Follow to the letter your itinery
This badge of shame you show until you die
It warns you a dangerous man

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

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

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

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

[Jean Valjean]
My name is Jean Valjean

[Javer]
And I am Javert
Do not forget my name!
Do not forget me,
24601.

[The Convicts]
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
