[Intro: Javert & Valjean]
One at a time
I put men like you behind bars every day
One at a time
Legateaux
You may take my years
But can not lock my soul away

[Verse 1: Valjean, Javert]
All the years I had to run
I've chased you through the years
So long ago it all began
Now your journey's at an end
In the shadows on my shame
You will pay for what you've done
But was I ever to blame?
Death will be your only friend
Do I let this fight end now?
Do not interrupt me
Just to end this life of pain
Let me finish what I need to say
Will the end be welcome now?
Fine, I'll let you finish first
Will my journey be in vain?
Don't let me get in your way
I only stole a loaf of bread
Are you finished now?
All I needed to survive
Okay, now it's my turn
If I end up in your cell
Can we have some give and take?
Why should I have stayed alive?
Let me get in a word at least
[Verse 2: Valjean, Javert, & Fantine]
Do I tell him that I love him?
Do I tell him of his child?
Now, where did this bitch come from
I have no idea
One at a time
Will he ever know his daughter?
Lady, seriously, please hang on
Will he recognise her eyes?
It's hard enough to talk to him
Did you say my daughter?
Yours and mine
One at a time

[Verse 3: Javert, Soliders & Both]
Let the trumpets call out freedom
This all has to happen on the same block?
Let the marching shake the ground
Now this is just a joke
Let the cannons be our voices
May redemption soon be found
We could solve all these issues
If everyone just spoke
One at a time

[Verse 4: THÉNARDIERS, Javert, Soliders, & Fantine]
Taking what we can
'Cause things are getting worse
Taking what we can
From every pocket and purse
One at a time
Let them hide
The men have come
Their blood will spill
One at a time
[Valjean]
The years destroyed the man
She knew before we parted

[Bridge 1: All]
And when love and war and blood and glory's
Barracks have been climbed

[Verse 5: Soliders, Fantine, Valjean, & Javert]
We will die
I will love
Years, they pass
Can we speak?

[Bridge 2: ALL, THÉNARDIERS, & Fantine]
One!
Here we go again
Popping in and out
At!
Don't have much to do with what this is about
A Time!
Why are we all facing the same way?

[Outro: Javert]
Is the city on fire? What's with all the smoke?
Oh now we're all ears
Great
