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

I swear I see my reflection

Some place so high above the wall

I see my light come shining

From the west unto the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released

My youngest stands with me in this lonely crowd

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

Well I say now, any day now, any day now

I shall be, oh, I shall be released
