Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - I Shall Be Released Lyrics

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Lyrics

"I Shall Be Released"
(feat. Larkin Poe)
(originally by Bob Dylan)

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 unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say 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 unto the east
Any day now, any day 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 him shout so loud
Just crying out that he was framed

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

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

Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
