I Shall Be Released Lyrics - Sting

They say ev'rything can be replaced 

Yet every distance is not near, 

So I remember every face 

Of everyman who put me here 

I see my light come shining 

From the west unto the east 

Any day now any way 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 way 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 his voice shouting out so loud 

Crying out that he was framed 

I see my light come shining 

From the west unto the east 

Any day now any way now, 

I shall be released.
