Les Misérables - Original London Cast - Prologue: Valjean Arrested / Valjean Forgiven Lyrics

Lyrics Prologue: Valjean Arrested / Valjean Forgiven - Les Misérables - Original London Cast



Tell his reverence your story
Let us see if he's impressed
You were lodging here last night
You were the honest Bishop's guest
And then, out of Christian goodness
When he learned about your plight
You maintained he made a present of this silver
That is right
But my friend you left so early
Something surely slipped your mind
You forgot I gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
So, Messieurs, you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
And God's blessing go with you
And remember this, my brother
See in this some higher plan
You must use this precious silver
To become an honest man
By the witness of the martyrs
By the Passion and the Blood
God has raised you out of darkness
I have bought your soul for God!



Writer(s): Stephen Clark, Alain Boublil, Claude Michel Schoenberg
