music and words by Bob Dylan



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 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

I see my light come shining

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 him shout 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.
