Heptones - I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced,
They say every distance is not near.. yea!
But I remember, every face,
Of every man who put me here.
I see the 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.
But I swear I see my reflection,
Somewhere so high above this wall.. yea!
I see the 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.. yea!
But I swear I see my reflection,
Somewhere so high above this wall.. yea!
I see the light come shining,
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.
