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