🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
They say everything can be replacedThey say every distance is not nearSo I remember every faceOf every man who put me hereI see my light come shiningFrom the west down to the eastAny day now, any day nowI shall be releasedThey say every man needs protectionThey say that every man must fallYet I swear I see my reflectionSomewhere so high above this wallI see my light come shiningFrom the west down to the eastAny day now, any day nowI shall be releasedNow, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowdA man who swears he’s not to blameAll day long I hear him shouting so loudJust crying out that he was framedI see my light come shiningFrom the west down to the eastAny day now, any day nowI shall be released
