They say ev'rything can be replaced 
Yet every distance is not near, 
So I remember every face 
Of everyman who put me here 
I see my light come shining 
From the west unto the east 
Any day now any way now, 
I shall be released. 

They say ev'ry man needs protection 
They say ev'ry man must fall 
Yet I swear I see my reflection 
Some place so high above this wall 
From the west unto the east 
Any day now any way now, 
I shall be released. 

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd 
Is a man who swears he's not to blame 
All day long I hear his voice shouting out so loud 
Crying out that he was framed 
I see my light come shining 
From the west unto the east 
Any day now any way now, 
I shall be released.
