I Shall Be Released

They say every thing must be replaced

They say every distance is not near

Yet I remember every face

Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any way now

I shall be released

They say every man needs protection

They say that 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 down to the east

Any day now, any way now

I shall be released

Standin next to me in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

All day long I hear him shoutin so loud

Cryin' out that he was framed

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any way now

I shall be released

Any day now, any way now

I shall be released
