Peter, Paul and Mary
I Shall Be Released
[Verse 1]
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 (From the west unto the east)
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released (Be released)

[Verse 2]
They say every man need protection
They say every man must fall (Man must fall)
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall (So high above this wall)

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

[Verse 3]
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame (Not to blame)
All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud
Crying out that he was framed (He was framed)
[Chorus]
I see my light come shinin' (I see my light come shinin')
From the west unto the east (From the west unto the east)
Any day now, any day now (Any day, any day, any day now)
I shall be released (Be released)
Any day now, any day now (Any day, any day, any day now)
I shall be released
