E F#m
They say everything can be replaced,
G#m A B E
That every distance is not near,
F#m
So I remember every face,
G#m A B E B
Of every man who put me here.
(Segue a mesma sequência)
They say every man needs protection,
They say that every man must rise and fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection,
Someplace so high above this wall.
[Refrão] E F#m
I see my light come shining,
G#m A B E
From the west until the east.
F#m
Any day now, any way now,
G#m A B E
I shall be released.
Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd,
It´ a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud,
He's crying out that he was framed.
