Píseň: I Shall Be Released

Interpret:
Joan Baez
Album:
Any Day Now
They say ev'rything can be replaced
They say ev'ry distance is not near
Yey 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


Well, understands man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
It's 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
