A                            Bm
They say evrything can be replaced
C#m       E           A
Yet evry distance is not near
          Bm
So I remember evry face
C#m      E       A
Of evry man who put me here

Chorus:
A              Bm
I see my light come shining
C#m       E      A
From the west unto the east
           Bm
Any day now, any day now
C#m E         A
I shall be released

They say evry man needs protection
They say evry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall

Chorus

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

Chorus
