Song Lyrics:
We’ve got 18 very special guests with us tonight
18 prisoners of conscience released because of Amnesty International
Song called, I Shall Be Released, says it all, really
Woo-hoo, woo-hoo
They say a man, he needs protection
The say a man, he must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection, mmm
We’re so high above the wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released, (South Africa)
They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man that put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released, (South Africa)
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he’s not to blame
Day and night I hear him screaming out so loud
Screaming out that he was framed
Oh yes
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
The say every man must fall
But I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
They shall be, they shall be
They shall be released
Thank you, goodnight
They shall be, they shall be
They shall be released
