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
