He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him,
you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away;
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul la by
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below;
he saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once,
and he tried to touch the sun;
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams;
seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand;
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
talk to God and listen to the casual re ply
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Now his life is full of wonder,
but his heart still knows some fear;
of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
To bring in a couple more;
more people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eag le fly
Rocky Mountain high
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and every body's high
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado . . .
