Mother Glamis High
Sung to "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver

He was born in the winter of his 32nd 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 sand dunes, his life was far away
In the city, overrun with pain
But the city can’t contain him, he’s looking for his life
He keeps running and hiding from the rain.

But The California, Mother Glamis High.
The Dune Gods are watching over him from the sky.
The Full Moon casts it's shadow and everybody flies....
Mother Glamis High... (Mother Glamis, California)
Mother Glamis High... (California)

He climbed majestic sand dunes, he rode every one he saw
He flew like the eagle up above
And finally he connected with others just like him
And found a campfire warm and filled with love

Now he rides in quiet solitude amongst the flowers and the brush
Finding solace in every trip he makes
His vision of a paradise he has realized in life
The Glamis Dunegods freely give up what he takes

And the California Mother Glamis High
The Dunegods are watching over him from the sky
You can talk to nature and hear the casual reply
Mother Glamis High (high California) Mother Glamis High (High California)

Now his life has found it’s purpose, but many still don’t believe
In the frailty of his sacred land
This life of his is popular and many want to see
Just how natural and caring is the sand

And the California Mother Glamis high
The Dunegods are watching over them from the sky
I know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw a redtail fly
Mother Glamis High

It’s a California Mother Glamis High
The DuneGods are watching over them from the sky
Duners around the campfire and everybody’s high
Mother Glamis High (High California) Mother Glamis High (High California)
Mother Glamis High (High California) Mother Glamis High……

Pastor thats awesome, but brotha you have way too much time on your hands if your coming up with lyrics that fit so closely to that song

Thanks Looney,
Actually, I have that song in my playlist. It comes up about once, every other day.
Everytime I hear it I think just how it explains exactly my relationship with Mother G...
Finally, I had had enough. I just sat down and wrote from my heart. It wasn't hard.

Hot darn Pastor, Slap is downright jazzed that you have been hangin out in Slap's Neighborhood lately. This little jingle got Slap on a Mother Glamis HIGH, California...And in the voice of John Denver, Slap can listen to him all day long. Of course, this little piece is McScrappbook bound. Ya know what Pastor, it is going to be very hard for other members to beat you out for Decembers Best Of Da Month award. With your recent sermon, and now throwin this slapptacious jingle at us, you have taken the lead. BUT, there are some folks here that may give ya a run. You got off the gate first and be GOOOONNNE.

Who`s high ?

Right on Brian, very cool!

Awesome Brian!! It took me a few minutes to get the tune right in my head , but then..........PERFECTO!!!

Awesome Brian, so who's got the guitar so we can sing around the campfire.

I would love to actually hear this song...
It's scary just how emotional it gets me.

The Pastor

That's just Far-Out pastor, just Far-out.

Man, that was sweet, I got chills listening to it. Someone who has a guitar and a good voice, needs to sing that. Good job Pastor!

Sweet!

Thanks Pastor. On this X-Mas Eve it's just what the Dr. ordered. Peace
