Black Oak Arkansas – I Shall Be Released lyrics

They say everything can be replaced,
And every distance is not near,
Yet, I remember every face,
Of ever' man who put me here,

I see my light come shinin'
From the West out to the East,
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released, Yeah-heah,
High, high, high high...

Yonder stands a man in his lonely crowd, yes,
A man who swears he's not to blame,
Yet, all day long, I hear him cryin' out loud!
Just cryin' out 'coz he was framed, whoa-uh,

I see my light come shinin'
From the West out to the East,
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released, Yeah-heah-heah, yeah,

*Guitar Solo*

They say ever' man needs protection... -That's a shame.
...They say that ever' man must crawl... -Not me.
Yet, I swear I see my reflection, haaa,
Somewhere so high above this wall, yeah-heah,

I see my light come shinin'
From the West out to the East,
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released,

I see my light come shinin', shinin',
From the West out to the East,
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released,

(I see my light come shinin') Yes
(I see my light come shinin') I shall be released, ohhh...
(I see my light come shinin') I shall be released, I shall be released,
(I see my light come shinin') I shall be released...
(I see my light come shinin') Please release me, let me leave
(I see my light come shinin') Yes, release me, Let me live again
(I see my light come shinin')
(I see my light come shinin') I shall be released, I shall be released,
(I see my light come shinin') I shall be released...
(I see my light come shinin') repeats until fade out
