Bobby McFerrin — I Shall Be Released lyrics

Lyrics

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.
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.
