Karaoke Rocky Mountain High John Denver

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

Might say he'd 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 too long

But the Colorado

Rocky mountain high

I've seen it raining 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 to 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 has 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 raining fire in the sky

Talk to God and listen 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 a simple thing he cannot comprehend

While they try to tear the mountains down they bring in a couple more

More people more scars upon the land

And the Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it raining fire in the sky

And though he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly

Rocky mountain high

Colorado rocky mountain high

I've seen it raining 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
