I Shall Be Released Lyrics & Chords By Miriam Makeba

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Yonder down here in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him cryin' out so loud
Cryin' out that he been framed
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, oh any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They tell me every man must fall
But 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, oh any day now
I shall be released
I shall be released, I shall be released
I shall be released, I shall be released
