他们说每件事物都能更换
可是每段距离都不在近旁
因此我记得把我放这里的
那每一个人的每一副面相
我看见我的灯要发光
从那西方直到那东方
现在任何一天,现在任何一天
我将被释放

他们说每个人都需要保护
他们说每个人都必须下降
可我发誓我看到我的影像
在这墙之上高高的某地方
我看见我的灯要发光
从那西方直到那东方
现在任何一天,现在任何一天
我将被释放

在这孤独人群中站我身旁
一个男人发誓他实在冤枉
整天我都听见他如此叫嚷
哭诉着他是如何被人栽赃
我看见我的灯要发光
从那西方直到那东方
现在任何一天,现在任何一天
我将被释放

I Shall Be Released

Written by Bob Dylan

They say ev’rything can be replaced
Yet ev’ry distance is not near
So I remember ev’ry face
Of ev’ry 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 ev’ry man needs protection
They say ev’ry 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
