Title: The Confrontation
Artist: Hugh Jackman & Russell Crowe

JAVERT: Valjean, at last,
We see each other plain
"M'sieur le Mayor"
You'll wear a different chain!
VALJEAN: Before you say another word, Javert
Before you chain me up like a slave again
Listen to me! There is something I must do.
This woman leaves behind a suffering child.
There is none but me who can intercede,
In Mercy's name, three days are all I need.
Then I'll return, I pledge my word.
Then I'll return...
JAVERT: You must think me mad!
I've hunted you across the years
A man like you can never change
A man such as you.
VALJEAN | JAVERT
Believe of me what you will | Men like me can never change
There is a duty that I'm sworn to do | Men like me can never change
You know nothing of my life | No, 24601
All I did was steal some bread | My duty's to the law
You know nothing of the world | You have no right
You would sooner see me dead | Come with me 24601
But not before I see this justice done | Now the wheel has turned around, Jean Valjean is nothing now
I am warning you Javert | Dare you talk to me of crime
I'm a stronger man by far | And the price you had to pay
There is power in me yet | Every man is born in sin
My race is not yet run | Every man must choose his way
JAVERT: You know nothing of Javert
I was born inside a jail
I was born with scum like you
I am from the gutter too!
