Story Behind The Song
I've loved this song for decades, and thought it would be a good one to sing. Bob Dylan's childhood home is only 20 minutes from where I live, and I visited it recently.

Lyrics
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 shinin'
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
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Crying out that he's been framed
I see my light come shinin'
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released.
