Jacob Miller - I Shall Be Released
I see the light, I see the light come shining
They say every man can be replaced
They say every distance is not near, yes!
But I remember, everything
To every man who put me here
I see the light come shining
From the west unto the east, yes!
Any day now, anywhere now
I shall be released, yes!
They say every man needs protection
They say every man was a born
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, anywhere now
I shall be released, yes!
(..)
They say every dread needs protection
They say every distance is not near, yes!
But I remember, everything
To every man who put me here
I see the light come shining
From the west unto the east, yes!
Any day now, anywhere now
I shall be released..
Listen to me - whoo, whoo!
I know I see my reflection into the prison cell
It's not a beautiful sight
