"I Shall Be Released" lyrics - PETER, PAUL AND MARY

PETER, PAUL AND MARY
"I Shall Be Released"

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

[Chorus:]
I see my light come shinin'
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man need protection
They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall

[Chorus]

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud
Crying out that he was framed.

[Chorus]

Any day now, any day now I shall be released.
