JOE COCKER

- I Shall Be Released Lyrics

They say everything can be replaced
Yet 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 unto the East
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall

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

Now, yonder stands with me in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Cryin' out that he was framed

I see my light come shinin', yeah
From the West unto the East
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Well, I say
Any day now, any day now
I shall be, I shall be released, hmm
