Lyrics
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'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
(Stephan Eicher)
They say ev'ry man needs protection,
They say ev'ry man must fall.
I swear, I swear I can see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
(Shar)
Standing here in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
(repeat)
