I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced

Yet every distance is not near

So I remember every face

Of every man who 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 every man must fall

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



Now, yonder stands with me in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

All day long I hear him shout so loud

Cryin' out that he was framed



I see my light come shinin', yeah

From the West unto the East

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released



Well, I say

Any day now, any day now

I shall be, I shall be released, hmm
