Tom Robinson Band - I Shall Be Released lyrics

rate me

They say everything can be replaced

They say every distance in not near

Yet I remember every face

Of every man who put me here

I see my life 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 that every man must fall

Yet I swear I see my reflection

Somewhere so high above this wall

I see my life come shining from the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now I shall be released

They say there'll be a new enquiry

They say there's been a slight mistake

But while they write reports,we've heard it all before

Let's get him out before it's all too late

Now yonder there's a man in this lonely crowd

A man who swears he's not to blame

Ten long years he's been there shouting so loud

Just crying out that he was framed

I see my life come shining from the west down to the east

Any day now, any day now I shall be released
