I Shall Be Released

They say everything can 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 shinin'



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 every man must fall



So I swear I see my reflection



Somewhere inside these walls



I see my light come shinin'



From the west unto the east



Any day now, any day now



I shall be released



Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd



Man who swears he's not to blame



All day long I hear him hollerin' so loud



Just cryin' out that he's not to blame



I see my light come shinin'



From the west down to the east



Any day now, any day now



I shall be released
