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
