He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him
Might say he was born again
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 strings already broken
And he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast
And it don't last for long

It's a Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadows from the starlight
Are softer than a lullabye

Rocky mountain high in Colorado
Rocky mountain high in Colorado

He climbed cathedral mountains
He saw silver clouds below
Saw everything as far as you can see

And they say that he got crazy
Once and that he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept the memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude
The forest and the stream
Seeking grace in every step he takes

His sight is 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
You can 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 knows some fear
Of the simple things he can not comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down
To bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

It's 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 eagle fly

Rocky mountain high

It's the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Friend around the camp fire
And everybody's high

Rocky mountain high in Colorado
Rocky mountain high in Colorado
Rocky mountain high in Colorado
Rocky mountain high in Colorado
Rocky mountain high in Colorado
Rocky mountain high in Colorado
