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 down to the east

any day now

any day now

i shall be released

they say every man needs protection

they say every man

oh

must fall

yet i swear i see my reflection

someplace so high above this wall

i see my light come shining

from the west down to the east

any day now

any day now

i shall be released

now

yonder stands a man

oh

in this lonely crowd

he's 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 shinin'

from the west down to the east

any day now

any day now

i shall be released

oh

any day now

any day now

i shall be released

any day now

any day now

i shall be released
