Any Day Now, Any Day Now

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 day 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 day now,

I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,

Is a man who swears he's not to blame.

All day long 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 day now,

I shall be released.
