I Shall Be Released Songtext
von Nina Simone

They say everything can be replaced
They say 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 down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released


They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
So I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere inside these walls

I see my light come shining
From the west out to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
Man who says he′s not to blame
All day long I hear him hollering so loud
Just crying out that he's not to blame


I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
