I Shall Be Released — Nina Simone

They say everything can be replaced Yet every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here

I see the light come shining From the west unto the east Any day now any day now I shall be released

They say every man needs protection They say every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Some place too high above this wall

Now yonder standing me in this lonely crowd A man who swears he's not to blame ALl day long I hear his voice shouting so loud Crying out that he was framed

I see the light come shining From the west unto the east Any day now any day now I shall be released
