I Shall Be Released
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say ev'ry man needs protection
They say ev'ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above the wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Yondah stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
Every night I hear him crying out so loud
Crying cause he was framed
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 ev'rything can be replaced
Yet ev'ry distance is not near
So I remember ev'ry damn face
Of ev'ry bastard 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
