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 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, oh, must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Someplace 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

Now, yonder stands a man, oh, in this lonely crowd

He's a man who swears he's not to blame

All day long, I hear him shout so loud

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

Oh, any day now, any day now

I shall be released

Any day now, any day now

I shall be released
