I Shall Be Released

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  

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 

Any day now, any day now 
I shall be released
