- I Shall Be Released Lyrics / with translationsThey 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 that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
And all day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
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 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 that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shinin'
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
And all day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the Band's song 'I Shall Be Released' portrays the desire for both freedom and salvation. A very similar interpretation can be drawn from the lyrics as well, while the hope and the power of the movement are pretty much the same as the light from the west to the east, which is a metaphor for the movement towards freedom from prisons or hardships. The I shall be released lyrics largely underscore power, about executing through without, and thus taking advantage of the situation and making use of it, or even going through it with constant struggles, and then finally getting out of it or perhaps getting the total opposite of what you were experiencing at first, which could be liberation. Also, the song underlines the need for and the nature of hope, redemption, and struggles and injustices. There is nothing in the lyrics that would make them suitable for adults only, such as profanity, mature themes, or violence, nudity, or drug use. They can thus be considered appropriate for all age groups.
