Just for stealing a mouthful of bread

Beneath the lash, upon the rack

How does he know?

What spirit comes to move my life?

Is there another way to go?

I   am reaching, but I fall

As I stare into the void

To the whirlpool of my sin

I'll escape now from that world

Jean Valjean is nothing now
