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 shining from the west out to the east,

Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.

Yonder down here in this lonely crowd

There's a man who swears he's not to blame.

All day long I hear him crying out so loud,

Crying out that he been framed.

I see my light come shining from the west out to the east,

Any day now, oh, any day now, I shall be released.

They say every man need protection,

They tell me every man must fall,

But I swear I see my reflection

Somewhere so high above this wall.

I see my light come shining from the west out to the east,

Any day now, oh, any day now, I shall be released,

I shall be released,

I shall be released,

I shall be released,

I shall be released.

Thank you.
