Lyrics: Nina Simone. I Shall Be Released.

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

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 every man must fall
So I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere inside these walls

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

Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
Man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him hollerin' so loud
Just cryin' out that he's not to blame

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