Lyrics to The Confrontation
The Confrontation Video:
JAVERTValjean, at last,We see each other plain!'M'sieur le Mayor',You'll wear a different chain!VALJEANBefore you say another word, JavertBefore you chain me up like a slave again.Listen to me. There is something I must do.This women leaves behind a suffering child.There is none but me who can intercede.In Mercy's name, three day are all I need.Then I'll return. I pledge my word.Then I'll return...JAVERTYou must think me mad!I've hunted you across the years.A man like you can never change.A man such as you.VALJEAN (in counterpoint)Believe of me what you willThere is a duty that I'm sworn to doYou know nothing of my lifeAll I did was steal some breadYou know nothing of the worldYou would sooner see me deadBut not before I see this justice done.I am warning you, JavertI'm a stronger man by farThere is power in me yetMy race is not yet run!I am warning you, JavertThere is nothing I won't dareIf I have to kill you hereI'll do what must be done!JAVERT (in counterpoint)Men like me can never change.Men like you can never change.No. 24601My duty's to the lawYou have no rightsCome with me, 24601Now the wheel has turned aroundJean Valjean is nothing now.Dare you talk to me of crimeAnd the price you had to payEvery man is born in sinEvery man must chose his wayYou know nothing of JavertI was born inside a jail.I was born with scrum like youI am from the gutter too.VALJEAN BREAKS A CHAIR AND THREATENSJAVERT WITH THE BROKEN PIECE. TURNS TOFANTINE.VALJEANAnd this I swear to you tonight...JAVERTThere is no place for you to hide.VALJEANYour child will live within my care.JAVERTWherever you may hide away.VALJEANAnd I will rasie her to the light.VALJEAN & JAVERTI swear to you, I will be there!THEY FIGHT. JAVERT IS KNOCKED OUT.VALJEAN ESCAPES.
