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
