I Shall Be Released Songtext
von Pearls Before Swine

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

I see my light come shining from the West down to the East
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.


They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
Well I swear I see my reflection
Oh so high above this wall.

I see my light come shining from the West down to the East
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.

Yonder stands me in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he′s not to blame
I hear his voice calling so loud
Just crying out that he was framed.

I see my light come shining from the West down to the East
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.
