I Shall Be Released

They say ev'rything can be replaced Yet ev'ry distance is not near So I remember ev'ry face Of ev'ry man who put me here

I see my light come shining From the west unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released

They say ev'ry man needs protection They say ev'ry man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Some place so high above this wall

I see my light come shining 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 All day long I hear him shout so loud Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining From the west unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released
