I Shall Be Released - The Box Tops

I Shall Be Released Lyrics

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 life 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 that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wallI see my life come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be releasedNow he understands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out for he was framedI see my life come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
