I Shall Be Released

They say ev ’rything can be replaced

Yet ev ’ry distance is not near

So I remember ev ’ry face

Of ev ’ry man who put me here

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now,any day now

I shall be released

They say ev ’ry man needs protection

They say ev ’ry man must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Some place so high above this wall

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now,any day now

I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd

Is a man who swears he ’s not to blame

All day long I hear him shout so loud

Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now,any day now

I shall be released
