I Shall Be Released
Features on The Secret Policeman's Other Ball video
Written & composed 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 way now,
I shall be released.
They say every man needs protection;
They say every man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the West unto the East.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All daylong I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the West unto the East.
Any day now, any way now,
I shall be released.
