I Shall Be Released Lyrics

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

(Chorus:)
I see my light come shinin'
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
Somewhere so high above this wall

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)
