I Shall Be Released

They say everything must be replaced

They say 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, hmm

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Some place so high above this wall, mmm-hmm

I see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd

There's a man who swears he's not to blame, hmm

All day long I hear him cry so loud

Crying out 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
