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 the light come shining

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 shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be releasedYonder standing me in this lonely crowd

A man who says he's not to blame

All day long I hear him hollering so loud

Just crying out that he's not to blameI see my light come shining

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
