Done Look out! It's a runaway cart Well done sir Can this be true? I don't believe what I see A man your age, to be as strong as you are A memory stirs, you make me think of a man From years ago, a man who broke his parole He disappeared Forgive me sir I wouldn't dare Say what you must, don't leave it there I have only known one other, who can do what you have done He's a convict from the chain gang, he's been 10 years on the run But he couldn't run forever, we have found his hideaway And he's just been rearrested, and he comes to court today Well of course he now denies it, you'd expect that of a con But he couldn't run forever, no not even Jean Valjean You say this man denies it all And gives no of understanding or repentance You say this man is going to trial And that's he's sure to be returned to serve his sentence Come to that, can you be sure that I am not your man? I have known the thief for ages Tracked him down through thick and thin And to make the matter certain There's the brand upon his skin He will bend, he will break This time there is no mistake Monsieur le Maire
