They say everything can be replacednThey say every distance in not nearnYet I remember every facenOf every man who put me herennI see my life come shining from the west down to the eastnAny day now, any day now I shall be releasednnThey say every man needs protectionnThey say that every man must fallnYet I swear I see my reflectionnSomewhere so high above this wallnnI see my life come shining from the west down to the eastnAny day now, any day now I shall be releasednnThey say there'll be a new enquirynThey say there's been a slight mistakenBut while they write reports,we've heard it all beforenLet's get him out before it's all too latennNow yonder there's a man in this lonely crowdnA man who swears he's not to blamenTen long years he's been there shouting so loudnJust crying out that he was framednnI see my life come shining from the west down to the eastnAny day now, any day now I shall be released
