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.

They say every man needs protection,

They say 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 out to the east,

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

Yonder down here in this lonely crowd,

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

All day long I hear him shouting loud,

Crying out that he been framed.

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

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

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