[Intro: Josiah Leming]
One, two, one, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Josiah Leming]
He was born in the summer of his 27th 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
[Verse 2: Josiah Leming]
When he first came to the mountains, his home 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
[Chorus: Josiah Leming]
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softеr than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
[Verse 3: David Simonett]
He climbed the cathеdral mountains, he saw the 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
[Verse 4: David Simonett & Josiah Leming]
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 understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
[Chorus: David Simonett & Josiah Leming, David Simonett]
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5: Josiah Leming]
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to put in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
[Bridge: David Simonett & Josiah Leming]
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Though he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
[Outro]
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
