A letra:
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
