In the streets of Paris, in the times of old
Where the poor and the wretched, their stories were told
There was a man, Jean Valjean, who had paid his debt
But society shunned him, and he had to fend for himself yet

He found redemption, and a new life to live
But the shadows of his past, they would not forgive
The inspector Javert, a man of the law
Pursued Valjean, with a single-minded claw

But Valjean, he proved that love and mercy
Can conquer even the darkest history
He took in a girl, Fantine, who had fallen from grace
And gave her the love, and the care that she faced

And through the years, as the revolution brewed
Valjean and his family, their struggles ensued
But in the end, love and forgiveness prevailed
As the barriers between classes, finally failed

Les Misérables, a tale of love and despair
But also of hope, and the power to repair
The wounds of the past, and to build a new future
A message that rings true, now and forever.
