I Shall Be Released
They say everything can be replacedThey say every distance is not nearSo I remember every faceOf every man who put me here
I see my light come shiningFrom the west down to the eastAny day now any day nowI shall be released
They say every man needs protectionThey say every man must fallSo I swear I see my reflectionSomewhere inside these walls
I see my light come shiningFrom the west unto the eastAny day now any day nowI shall be released
Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowdMan who swears he's not to blameAll day long I hear him hollering so loudJust crying out that he's not to blame
I see my light come shiningFrom the west down to the eastAny day now any day nowI shall be released
