Jean Val Jean, the weeping criminal
Broken with the weight of compassion
It's hard to hold what you don't deserve
Remember your promise to be pure

It's a battle between just and good
What you know is right, what you know you should
Will good overcome religion?
It's a battle between grace and pride
Will you let it go or draw the knife?
Will grace overcome what was done?

"Goodness fell on me like a spring rain
In this divine, who have I become?
Unable to repay, my hope to emulate forgiveness
No longer will I run"

What was done ...
What was done?
What was done?

It's a battle between grace and pride
Will you let it go or draw the knife?
Will grace overcome what was done?
