Lyrics

They say ev ’ry man must need pro (Bm)tec tion,

they say ev ’ry man must (A)fall.

Yet I swear I see my re (Bm)flec tion

some place (E9sus)so high a bove the (A)wall.

I see my light

come (Bm)shin ing

from the west down to the (A)east.

An y day now,

an y day now,

I (E9sus)shall be re (A)leased.

They say ev ’ry man must need pro (Bm)tec tion,

they say ev ’ry man must (A)fall.

Yet I swear I see my re (Bm)flec tion

some place (E9sus)so high a bove the (A)wall.

I see my light

come (Bm)shin ing

from the west down to the (A)east.

An y day now,

an y day now,

I (E9sus)shall be re (A)leased.

(A)leased.
