I Shall Be Released

They say every man can be replaced

Say every distance is not real

That I can remember every face

Every man who's put me here

I've seen my life go shinin'

From the west down to the east

And any day now, any day now

I shall be released

They say every man needs protection

Say every man must fall

That I swear I see my reflection

We're so high above this wall

I've seen my life go shinin'

From the west down to the east

And any day now, any day now

I shall be released

Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd

And he swears he's not to blame

All day I long I hear him cryin' out

That he was framed

I've seen my life go shinin'

From the west down to the east

And any day now, any day now

I shall be released

And any day now, any day now

I shall be released
