Rocky Mountain High

In the style of

John Denver

Lyrics

he was born
in the summer of his
twenty-seventh year
comin' 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 life was far away
on the road
and hangin' by a song

but the string's
already broken
and he doesn't
really care
it keeps changin' fast
and it don't last
for long

but the colorado
rocky mountain high
i've seen it rainin' fire
in the sky

the shadow
from the starlight
is softer
than a lullaby
rocky mountain high
rocky mountain high

he climbed
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 kept the memory

now he walks
in quiet solitude
the forests
and the streams
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
rainin' fire in the sky

talked to god
and listened to
the casual reply
rocky mountain high
rocky mountain high

now his life is
full of wonder
but his heart
still knows some fear
of the simple thing
he cannot
comprehend

why they try
to tear
the mountains down
to bring in
a couple more
more people
more scars
upon the land

and the colorado
rocky mountain high
i've seen it
rainin' fire in the sky

i know he'd be
a poorer man
if he never saw
an eagle fly
rocky mountain high

colorado
rocky mountain high
i've seen it
rainin' fire in the sky
friends around
the campfire
and everybody's high
rocky mountain high

rocky mountain high
rocky mountain high
rocky mountain high
rocky mountain high
rocky mountain high
