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 hereI see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be releasedThey say every man needs protection

They say every man must fall

So I swear I see my reflection

Somewhere inside these wallsI see my light come shinin'

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be releasedYonder 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 blameI see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
