He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' 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 hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken
and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast
and it don't last for long But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight
is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high
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 his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude
the forest 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
rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to God
and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high
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 rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man
if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's Colorado
rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire
and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high
Colorado
1943-1997
