I Shall Be Released -- Gospel / Roots Music (Bob Dylan & the Band)

Written and performed by Bob Dylan and the Band

1967 -- lyrics from bobdylan.com/ official website

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!
