Bette Midler — I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced That every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here They say every woman needs protection Then they turn around and tell you Every woman's got to fall I swear I see my own reflection Somewhere far beyond this wall I see my life come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Now yonder stands There in that lonely crowd A man who swears he is not to blame, no, no And if you ask him has he ever seen this lonely woman He'll tell you, "No, no, no." What's more, he does not know my name! But I see my light come shining Shining, shining, shining from the west Straight on down to the east Ah-anyday now, any, any old day now I am going to, I am going to be released, yeah! They tell ya, tell ya every woman They tell ya every woman Got to have protection Then they turn around and tell ya "No! We gonna make that-a woman fall!" Oh, god, I swear! I swear I see I see my, my very own reflection Far and away beyond, way, way beyond These four walls! That's right! I see, I see my life, my life My life is shining, shining, shining Shining, shining, shining, shining From the west straight on down to the east And any day now, do you hear me? Any day now, I shall be I am going to be released! Any day now, any day now, any day now Any, any day now, oh, any day now Any day, any day, any day Any day, any day, any day Woah, any day, any day, any old day now Yeah, any day now I am going to, I shall be released!

Oh, any day now, any day now, any day now Whoa, help me, any day, any day Any old day now . .
