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

Well, I see my light come shinin'
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 that every man must fall
Still, I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high up on this wall

Well, 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
Well, all day long
I hear him shoutin' so loud
Just cryin' out that he was framed

Well, I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now
Any day now
I shall be released
