Lyrics for 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 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 that every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Some wall 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 You're youngest handsome man in this lonely crowd A man who swears he's not to blame And all day long I hear him shout so loud Just 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
