I Shall Be Released

They say ev'rything can be replaced

Yet every distance is not near,

So I remember every face

Of everyman who put me here

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now any way now,

I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection

They say ev'ry 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 way 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 his voice shouting out so loud

Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now any way now,

I shall be released.
