The shadow from the starlight
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Why they try to tear the mountains down
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
Rocky Mountain high
Colorado Rocky Mountain high
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Now, he walks in quiet solitude
Friends around the campfire
The forests and the streams
And they say that he got crazy once
And he tried to touch the sun
Rocky Mountain high
On the road and hangin' by a song
Everybody's high
But his heart still knows some fear
You talk to God, listen to the casual reply
His sight has turned inside
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Keeps changin' fast, it don't last for long
Rocky Mountain high
Saw silver clouds below
He know he'd be a poorer man
Rocky Mountain high
Left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
Himself to try and understand
To bring in a couple more
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Is softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high
More people, more scars upon the land
If he never saw an eagle fly
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
Rocky Mountain high
Now his life is full of wonder
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Saw everything as far as you can see
He climbed cathedral mountains
Seeking grace in every step he takes
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Might say he found a key for ev'ry door
