They say every thing must be replaced,
They say ev'ry distance is not near.
Yet I remember every face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way 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 shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released

Well yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd,
A man who swears he's not to blame.
Yet all day long I hear him shouting so loud.
He's crying out that he was framed.

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released
