Rocky mountain high
He was born in the summer of his twenty seven years
Comin' home to a place he's never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might see he was born again
You might see he found the key for ev'ry door
When he first came to the mountain, his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by the song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keep changing fast and it don't last for long
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire and the sky
Shadow from the star light is softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high in Colorado
Rocky Mountain high in Colorado
He saw Cathedral Mountain he saw silver clouds below
He saw ev'rything as far as you can see
They say that he got crazy one and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude in the forest and the steams
Seeking grace in ev'rystep 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 rainin' fire and the sky
Talk to god and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high in Colorado
Rocky mountain high in Colorado
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still know some fear
Of a simple thing he can not comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountain down to bring in a couple more,
More people, more scare 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 camp fire ev'rybody's high
