Lyrics

Colorado

From the Santa Fe Trail to the slopes of Vail.
The sights befell God's hand.
With mounts divine and endless columbine.
And spruce that sprawl the land.

With mighty peaks that Heaven reach
His presence ever flows.
The breaths of air that none compare.
Breathe life no other knows.

I long for Colorado, where Heaven meets the Earth.
I cry for Colorado where I feel and see His worth.
I'll die in Colorado, for no place shall ever be.
So near my Heavenly Father and with Him so close to me.

From the Great Divide where eagles glide.
To valleys of Ancients Trail.
His treasures hold beyond His gold.
Across no grander scale.

In the Garden of Gods, His presence nods.
Pikes Peak above to gleam.
And from all heights His water delights.
All those who thirst downstream.

I long for Colorado, where Heaven meets the Earth.
I cry for Colorado where I feel and see His worth.
I'll die in Colorado, for no place shall ever be.
So near my Heavenly Father and with Him so close to me.

I long for Colorado, where Heaven meets the Earth.
And, I cry for Colorado where I feel and see God's worth.
And, I'll die in Colorado, for no place shall ever be.
So near my Heavenly Father and with Him so close to me.
