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