A moment of your time, Javert
I do believe this woman's tale
But M'sieur Mayor!
You've done your duty
Let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail.
But M'sieur Mayor!
Can this be?
Where will she end -
This child without a friend?
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief
In a place such as this?
M'sieur, don't mock me now, I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
You let your foreman send me away
Yes, you were there, and turned aside
I never did no wrong
Is it true, what I have done?
My daughter's close to dying
To an innocent soul?
If there's a God above
Had I only known then...
He'd let me die instead
In His name my task has just begun
I will see it done!
But M'sieur Mayor!
I will see it done!
But M'sieur Mayor!
I will see it done!
I do believe this woman's tale

I will see it done!
But M'sieur Mayor!
I will see it done!
