Analysis of Red Rock



Red Rock is a place that I call home.
Sometimes I can feel my ancestor's voices,
down through the ages,
in this place they used to roam.
I can hear the echoes of another time-
As I put one foot in front of the other,
I walk on down the line,
bringing me back to Red Rock,
one more time.
