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 the key, forever door

When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away

On the road, hanging by a [?]

But the strings already broken, and he doesn't really care

Keeps changing fast, it won't last for long

Colorado, rocky mountain high

Seen it raining fire in the sky

Shadow from the starlight, softer than a lullaby

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Went to see the mountains, saw silver clouds [?]

Saw еverything as far as you can see

They say that he got crazy oncе and he tried to touch the sun [?]

And he lost a friend, kept her memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude in the forest and the streams

Seeking grace every step he takes

His side has turned inside himself to try and comprehend

The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

Colorado, rocky mountain high

Seen it raining fire in the sky

Talk to god and listen, his casual reply

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

[?] face full of wonder, his heart [?] fear

All the simple things he cannot comprehend

When I tried to tear the mountains down, bring in a couple more

More people, more stars throughout the land

Colorado, rocky mountain high

Seen it raining fire in the sky

Know he'd be a poor man [?], if he never saw an eagle fly

Rocky mountain high

Colorado, rocky mountain high

Seen it raining fire in the sky

[?] hellfire in everybody's eyes

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high, Colorado

Rocky mountain high
