I Shall Be Released

[Verse 1]

They say everything can be replaced

They say every distance is not near

So I remember every face

Of every man who put me here

[Chorus]

I see the light come shinin'

From the west down to the east (Yes)

Any day now, anywhere now

I shall be released (Yes)

[Verse 2]

They say every man needs protection

They say every man must fall

Yet say that see my reflection

Somewhere so high above this wall

[Chorus]

I see the light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

[Verse 3]

Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

And all day long O hear him shouting so loud

Just crying out that he was framed

[Chorus]

I see the light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
