I Shall Be Released Songtext
von Chatham County Line

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, and 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
And all day long I hear him shouting 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
