they say everything can be replaced they say every distance is not near so i remember every face of every man who put me here i see my light come shinin from the west down to the east any day now and day now i shall be released they say every man needs protection they say that every man must fall yet i swear i see my reflection somewhere so high above this wall i see my light come shinin from the west down to the east any day now any day now i shall be released now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd a man who swears he s not to blame and all day long i hear him shouting loud just crying out that he was framed i see my light come shinin from the west down to the east any day now any day now i shall be released
