Rocky Mountain High

He was born in the summer
Of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he had never been before
Left yesterday behind him
He might say he was born again
He might say he found the key to every door
When he first came to the mountains
His life was far away
On the road hanging by his song
But the strings already broke him, and he doesn't really care
He's changing fast
It don't last for long

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Though he'd be a poorer man
If he'd never saw an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high (High Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (High Colorado)

He climbed cathedral mountains, saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as he can see
And they say that he'd gone crazy once
And he'd 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
Shadows from a starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky Mountain high (High Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (High Colorado)

Now his life is full of wonder
But his heart still knows the fear
Of the simple things 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
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high (High)
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire
Everybody is high
