Lyrics Peter, Paul and Mary

Peter, Paul and Mary

I Shall Be Released

1. They say everything can be replaced

Yet every distance is not near.

So I remember every face

Of every man who put me here.

R: I see my light come shinin'

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

2. They say every man need protection

They say every man must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Some place so high above this wall

R:

3. Standing next to me in this lonely crowd

Is a man who swears he's not to blame

All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud

Crying out that he was framed.

R:

Any day now, any day now I shall be released
