"Rocky Mountain High" lyrics

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, 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 home was far away on the road and hanging by a song
But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

He climbed the 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 he kept the memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude in the forest and the streams, seeking grace
In every step he takes
His sight is turned inside himself, and he tries to understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to a casual reply
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

Now, his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he can not comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to put 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
I know he'd be a poor man, if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

Come on, boys
