I Shall Be Released

They say ev'rything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near,
So I remember every face
Of everyman who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way 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 way 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 his voice shouting out so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way now,
I shall be released.
