(PEDAL BASS & ACOUSTIC GUITARS INTRO

I remember morning on the river

when the sun would warm my sleepy eyes

and the birds on the wing from the marshes

would leave their nests and fill the sky

who's to say a man cannot be wealthy

when all he has to show is his dream

if he knows the endless freedom of the river

who's to say a man cannot be king

(oooh oooh ohh)
[this part is much too complex for details - sorry!]

I remember evening on the river

rollin' like a wheel past ol' sand bars

the birds would all return to the marshes

drifting like a cloud through all the stars

who's to say a man cannot be wealthy

when all he has to show is his dream

if he knows the endless freedom of the river

who's to say a man cannot be king
