i shall be released

Singer: bob dylan

they say ev'rything can be replaced

yet ev'ry distance is not near

so i remember ev'ry face

of ev'ry 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 ev'ry man needs protection

they say ev'ry man must fall

yet i swear i see my reflection

some place so high above this wall

i see my light come shining

from the west unto the east

any day now

any day now

i shall be released

standing next to me in this lonely crowd

is 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
