I Shall Be Released Songtext
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)
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)
