They say everything can be replaced They say every distance in not near Yet I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see my life come shining from the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say that every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Somewhere so high above this wall I see my life come shining from the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say there'll be a new enquiry They say there's been a slight mistake But while they write reports, we've heard it all before Let's get him out before it's all too late Now yonder there's a man in this lonely crowd A man who swears he's not to blame Ten long years he's been there shouting so loud Just crying out that he was framed I see my life come shining from the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released
