I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced

They say every distance is not near

Yet I remember every face

Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now -

I shall be released

They say every man needs protection

They say that every man must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Somewhere so high above this wall

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now -

I shall be released

Well, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

Yet all day long I hear him shouting so loud

He's crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now -

I shall be released
