Intro : (2x)
He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;
Coming home to a place he'd never been be fore
He left yesterday behind him,
you might say he was born a gain
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far a way;
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul la b y

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds be low;
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 kept the memo ry
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 under stand;
the se renity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
talk to God and listen to the casu al r e pl y

Now his life is full of wonder,
but his heart still knows some fear;
of a simple thing he cannot compre hend
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
To bring in a couple more;
more people, more scars u pon the land
And 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 eag le f ly
Rocky Mountain high
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and every body's high
