Wow, this hokey song really says it all for me.....

She was born in the autumn of her 46th year
Comin' home to a place she'd never been before
She left yesterday behind her, you might say she was born again
You might say she found a key for every door
When she first came to the mountains her life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and she 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
She climbed cathedral mountains, she saw silver clouds below
She saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that she got crazy once and she tried to touch the sun
And she lost a friend but kept his memory
Now she walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step she takes
Her sight has turned inside herself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado rocky mountain highI've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high
Now her life is full of wonder but her heart still knows some fear
Of a simple things she 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 she'd be a poorer woman if she 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
