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 day 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 day 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 day now,

i shall be released
