I Shall Be Released

They say everything 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 unto the east.

Any day now, any day now,

I shall be released.



They say every man needs protection,

They say every man must fall.

Yet i swear i see my reflection

Some place so high above this wall.



I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east.

Any day now, any day now,

I shall be released.



Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,

Is a man who swears he's not to blame.

All day long I hear him shout so loud,

Crying out that he was framed.



I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east.

Any day now, any day now,

I shall be released.
