I Shall Be Released Lyrics By The Box Tops

    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 must fall
    yet i swear i see my reflection
    some place 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

    standing next to me in this lonely crowd
    is 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 shining
    from the west down to the east
    any day now any day now
    i shall be released

    i see my light come shining
    from the west down to the east
    any day now any day now
    i shall be released

    any day now any day now
    i shall be released
