Текст песни Alfie Boe - On Parole

~Valjean~
Freedom is mine The earth is still
I feel the wind I breathe again
And the sky clears, the world is waiting
Drink from the pool How clean the taste
Never forget the years, the waste
Nor forgive them, for what they've done
They are the guilty, everyone
The day begins
And now lets see
What this new world
Will do for me!

[He finds work on a farm]

~Employer~
You'll have to go
I'll pay you off for the day
Collect your bits and pieces there
And be on your way

~Valjean~
You've given me half
What the other men get!
This handful of tin
Wouldn't buy my sweat!

~Laborer~
You broke the law
It's there for people to see
Why should you get the same
As honest men like me?

~Javert~
Now I know how freedom feels
The jail is always at your heels
It is the law
This piece of paper in my hand which bids me cast throughout the land
It is the law
Like a cur
I walk the streets
The dirt beneath their feet
