Intro
Verse
He was b
orn in the summer, of his twenty se
venth year
;
Comin'
home to a place he'd never been bef
ore
He left
yesterday behind him,
you might say
he was born aga
in
You might say h
e found a key for every d
oor
When he firs
t came to the mountains, his life was
far awa
y
On the road
and hangin' by a
song
But the
string's already broken, and he
doesn't really care
;
It keeps
changing fast, and it don't la
st for long
Chorus
But the
Colorado R
ocky Mountain high
I've
seen it rainin' fi
re in the sky
The
shadow from the sta
r-light is
softer than a l

Verse
He climbed
cathedral mountains, he sa
w silver clouds belo
w;
he saw
everything as far as you can s
ee
And they
say that he got crazy once,
and he
tried to touch the
s
un;
And he
lost a friend but kept the mem
ory
Now he
walks in quiet solitude, the
forests and the stream
s;
seeking
grace in every step he takes
His sight
has turned inside himself to
try and underst
an
d;
the se
renity of a clear blue mountain
lake

Verse
Now his
life is full of wonder,
but his
heart still knows some fea

of a
simple thing he cannot compr

Why they
try to tear the mountains down,
To
bring in a couple mo

more
people, more scars upon the land
