Rocky mountain highjohn denverwords by john denver; music by john denver and mike taylorhe was born in the summer of his 27th yearcomin' home to a place he'd never been beforehe left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born againyou might say he found a key for every doorwhen he first came to the mountains his life was far awayon the road and hangin' by a songbut the string's already broken and he doesn't really careit keeps changin' fast and it don't last for longbut the colorado rocky mountain highi've seen it rainin' fire in the skythe shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabyerocky mountain highhe climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds belowhe saw everything as far as you can seeand they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sunand he lost a friend but kept his memorynow he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streamsseeking grace in every step he takeshis sight has turned inside himself to try and understandthe serenity of a clear blue mountain lakeand the colorado rocky mountain highi've seen it rainin' fire in the skyyou can talk to god and listen to the casual replyrocky mountain highnow his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fearof a simple thing he cannot comprehendwhy they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple moremore people, more scars upon the landand the colorado rocky mountain highi've seen it rainin' fire in the skyi know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle flyrocky mountain highit's colorado rocky mountain highi've seen it rainin' fire in the skyfriends around the campfire and everybody's highrocky mountain high
