I Shall Be Released Songtext
von Joe Cocker

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

I see my life come shinin′
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
I swear, I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above the wall


I see my life come shinin', yeah
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Now, you standing next to me in this lonely crowd
A man swears he′s not to blame
All day long, I hear him shoutin' out
Cryin' out that he was framed

I see my life come shinin′, yeah
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Oh, I stand now
Any day now, any day now
I shall be
Oh, I shall be released
