I Shall Be Released, written by Bob Dylan



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 shinin'

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



I see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released



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



I see my light come shinin'

From the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
