I Shall Be Released

They say every man 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 down to the east.

Any day now, any day now,

I shall be released.

They say every man needs protection,

They say that every man must fall.

Still 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.

And any day now, any day now,

I shall be released.

Every day in this lonely crowd,

Stands a man who's not to blame.

And every day I hear him shouting so loud,

Crying out that he's been framed.

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east.

Any day now, any day now,

I shall be released.

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east.

Any day now, any day now,

I shall be released.

I shall not, I shall not be moved,

I shall not, I shall not be moved.
