I Shall Be Released — The Band

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 unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released

They say ev'ry man needs protection They say that ev'ry man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Somewhere so high above this wall

Now yonder standing there 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
