I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced

Yet every distance is not near

So I remember every face

Of every man that put me here

I see my light come shinin'

From the west unto 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

But I swear I see my reflection

Somewhere so high above this wall

I see my light come shinin'

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

Every night, I hear him shout so loud

Crying out that he's been framed

I see my light come shinin'

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

I see my light come shinin'

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
