"I Shall Be Released" as written by and Bob Dylan....
They say everything can be replaced
But 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 day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
Say, I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Oh yeah
But you know, whoa
Ooh yeah
They're standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud
Crying out he has been framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Everybody say with me
I see my light come shining
What about west or east
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
But 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 day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
Say, I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Oh yeah
But you know, whoa
Ooh yeah
They're standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud
Crying out he has been framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any way now
I shall be released
Everybody say with me
I see my light come shining
What about west or east
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

you can hear happiness and excitement in Jeff's voice.
I sometimes weep when I listen to it.. I read in the book Dream Brothers that Jeff sang to Rebecca Moore over the phone for almost an hour, hours before he waded into the water...and hearing his voice on the phone, singing, just makes my heart melt...
Happy Birthday Jeff!! it was his birthday yesterday, Nov. 17. It would have been his 43rd. I hope you all remember him through his trully great legacy.
