About the song

Written by Kerry Livgren.
Arranged by Michael Sweeney.
Originally recorded by Kansas.

Instrumentation requirements

This song needs at least 4 or 5 trumpets, with at least two on first.

Roadmap

To better match the original recording, the song starts with a trumpet soli (the original starts with 8 measures a cappella). The trumpets start at measure 26 and play through the end of measure 32, then there is a measure of drums, then the song starts back at measure 1. From there, it is played as written.
