Red rock towers touch the open sky
Silent canyons echo, time drifting by
Warm breeze brushes along the stone
Shadows stretched where the sun has shone
I stand on the edge of ancient ground
Listening close for that subtle sound
In this silent sprawl, I feel complete
Cradled in dust beneath the heat
The mesa cradles stories old
I find my spirit in this desert gold
River far below carves its way
Tracing memories of another day
A hawk glides steady in the high blue air
A whisper of freedom everywhere
In this silent sprawl, I feel complete
Cradled in dust beneath the heat
The mesa cradles stories old
I find my spirit in this desert gold
Twilight falls on the sandstone rim
All is quiet, my heart grows dim
Yet in the stillness, I breathe anew
Carrying mesa's calm with me through
