I Shall Be Released Lyrics

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 down to 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 

Now yonder stands a man 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
