They say ev'ry man need protection
they say ev'ry man must fall
yet i swear i see my reflection
some place so high above the wall
i see my light come shining
from the west down to the east
any day now, any day now
i shall be released.
Down here next to me in this lonely crowd
is a man who swears he's not to blame
all day long i hear him cry so loud
calling out that he's been framed
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 ev'rything can be replaced
yet ev'ry distance is not near
so i remember ev'ry face
of ev'ry 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.
