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 here

I see my light come shinin'
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now  
I  shall be released

They say ev'ry man needs protection  
They say that ev'ry man must fall  
Yet I swear I see my reflection  
Somewhere so high above this wall 

I see my light come shinin'
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now  
I  shall be released

Now yonder standing there 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 that he was framed

I see my light come shinin'
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now  
I  shall be released
