Les Misérables (musical film) - Look Down

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

CONVICTS
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
You 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 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 will show 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 these 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

CONVICTS
Look down, look down
You will always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave
