Rocky Mountain High

Hoog in een weide in Jasper, Alberta,
twee mannen en vier pony's op een lange eenzame trip.
Om het hooggebergte te zien en te leren van zijn mensen,
de manieren waarop ze leefden, de manieren waarop ze stierven.
En één is een leraar en één een leek
die alleen maar daar willen zijn en willen weten
En samen proberen ze ons een verhaal te vertellen
waar lang, lang geleden naar geluisterd had moeten worden.

Hoe het leven in de bergen leven met gevaar is
van te veel mensen, te veel machines.
En de tijd staat aan onze zijde, vandaag is voor altijd,
morgen is alleen maar één van de dromen van gisteren.
Koude nachten in Canada en ijzige blauwe winden,
de man en de bergen zijn opnieuw broeders.
Heldere wateren lachen, ze zingen de lucht toe.
De Rockies ze leven, ze zullen nooit sterven.

Hoog in een weide in Jasper, Alberta,
twee mannen en vier pony's op een lange eenzame trip.

Rocky mountain high

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 

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 for long 

But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high 

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw 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 his memory 

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest 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 rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high 

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 bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land 

And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high 

It's Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high
