    Lyrics to Crossing Over

    And I have come to the shoreline to sit on a mound of sand with my legs in the grass. A smile has found my face again.

    Sometimes I feel like that tugboat pulling my past behind.

    Sometimes I feel like a honeybee tasting the sweetness of life.

    But right now, I am the swallow, a messenger of two worlds.

    I’m unlimited and I am crossing over.

    Stand still, be with this.

    Remember to breathe.

    If you’ve got to move, move your body mindfully.

    Pay attention to this breath right now.

    Listen past your senses for the soundless sound, for the soundless sound.

    Hu, Allah.

    And I have come to share my story, to sing for you my friends.

    With my feet on the ground, new life has found these hands again.

    Sometimes I don’t think about it, I used to all the time.

    Sometimes I go a little bit crazy, can’t escape my mind.

    And right now I’m being truthful ’cause I’ve got nothing, nothing to lose.

    I’m unlimited and I am crossing over.

    Stand still, be with this.

    Remember to breathe.

    If you’ve got to move, move your body mindfully.

    Pay attention to this breath right now.

    Listen, won’t you listen for the soundless sound, for the soundless sound?

    Hu, Allah.

    Lyrics to “Right Here Now”

    Sometimes she speaks without making a sound.

    Sometimes she screams so loud it shakes the clouds.

    Oh, but she’s right here now.

    Sometimes I feel like a ghost in this town.

    Sometimes I feel like an angel flying around.

    Oh, but I’m right here now.

    Sometimes he floats away from the light.

    Sometimes he shines like a star in the night.

    Oh, but he’s right here now.

    “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen Lyrics Video

    Lyrics adapted by Catherine Scholz: Well I’ve heard that there’s a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord but you don’t really care for music, do ya? And it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, baffled queen composing Hallelujah… Hallelujah, Hallelujah… Well your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof. Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya… And she tied you to her kitchen chair, broke your throne, cut your hair, from your lips she drew the Hallelujah… Hallelujah… Hallelujah, Hallelujah… Well baby I’ve been here before, I’ve seen these rooms and I’ve walked these floors… I used to live alone before I knew ya and I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march, it’s a cold and broken Hallelujah… Hallelujah, Hallelujah…Hallelujah… Hallelujah Well there was a time when you let me know what’s really going on below but now you never show that to me do ya? Well remember when I moved in you and the holy dove was moving too, every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah… Hallelujah, Hallelujah… Well maybe there’s a god above but all I’ve ever known of love is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya, and it’s not a cry that you hear at night, it’s not somebody who has seen the light, it’s a cold and broken Hallelujah… Hallelujah, Hallelujah… Hallelujah… Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    Lyrics to “Nothing’s Wrong” by Catherine Scholz

    Nothing’s Wrong

    Music and lyrics by Catherine Scholz

    Nothing’s wrong,

    nothing’s right.

    I think I’ll sleep on the floor tonight.

    In the dark, there is a place

    where a labyrinth was once a maze

    where dreams were born and dreams have died

    I lay me down to sleep tonight.

    Nothing’s wrong,

    nothing’s right,

    Good night.

    Nothing’s wrong,

    nothing’s right,

    I think I’ll sleep with the stars tonight.

    In stellar arms, in Love’s embrace,

    I’ve got the moon to stroke my face.

    I know I’ll find another rhyme

    and some peace for this heart of mine.

    Nothing’s wrong,

    nothing’s right,

    Good night.

    (optional 3rd verse)

    Nothing’s wrong,

    nothing’s right,

    I think I’ll sleep with this song tonight.

    This tender heart wears no disguise,

    and thankfully, Love never dies.

    Like the sun, when on the rise,

    I will return to the open skies.

    Nothing’s wrong,

    nothing’s right,

    Good night.

    Lyrics to “Pearl” by Catherine Scholz

    Pearl

    Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz

    So you’ve added up the figures

    and counted all the costs.

    but a shade of memory lingers

    as the dew becomes the frost…

    A love of no undoing

    has caught you in its web.

    Would you like to keep on crashing

    Or brave the waves instead?

    You’re a pearl – I will meet you by the ocean

    You’re a pearl – I’ll be standing by the sea

    You’re a pearl – I will meet you by the ocean

    You’re a pearl -Meet me in D.C.

    Now it’s time to make some choices,

    pick your heart up from the floor,

    put the sordid past behind you,

    chase those ghosts back from your door.

    You’re a pearl – I will meet you by the ocean

    You’re a pearl – I’ll be standing by the sea

    You’re a pearl – I will meet you by the ocean

    You’re a pearl -Meet me in D.C.

    Lyrics to “Butterfly” by Catherine Scholz

    Butterfly

    Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz

    I am a butterfly

    sailing on the wings of night.

    This is how I fly.

    Up above the city lights,

    far beyond the rain.

    I caress the sky.

    This is how I fly.

    I am a butterfly

    sailing on the wings of night.

    This is how I fly.

    There’s no peace like I feel inside,

    I’m far beyond the pain.

    My love fills up the sky.

    This is how I fly.

    I am a butterfly

    sailing on the wings of night.

    This is how I fly.

    Through the struggle I fight.

    But look how much I’ve gained.

    Don’t have to know why.

    This is how I fly.

    I am a butterfly

    sailing on the wings of night.

    This is how I fly.

    Lyrics to “How does it Feel” by Catherine Scholz

    How Does it Feel?

    Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz

    How does it feel to be whole?

    How does it feel to be whole?

    To stop the world just to listen to your soul,

    becoming whole.


    How does it feel to be found?

    How does it feel to be found?

    Walking alone or just standing on the ground,

    you will be found.


    (instrumental)


    How does it feel to be you?

    How does it feel to be you?

    There is nothing in this world I would not do,

    my friend, for you.


    How does it feel to be free?

    How does it feel to be free?

    Wish you were here standing right in front of me,

    feeling free.


    (instrumental)

    Lyrics to “Cactus Flower” by Catherine Scholz

    Cactus Flower

    Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz

    Honey, I’m just sittin’ here thinkin’ on you.

    Funny, I wasn’t expecting to feel so blue.

    But darlin’ you’ve got me eatin’ from the palm of your hand.

    I’m just pinin’ like a cactus flower in the desert sand.

    Now when I said I love you, I did not lie.

    Did you mean it when you said goodbye?

    Honey, I’d be so tickled if you’d knock on my door.

    Funny, I guess I’m not your sweetheart anymore.

    But darlin’ you’ve got me eatin’ from the palm of your hand.

    I’m just pinin’ like a cactus flower in the desert sand.

    Now when I said I love you, I did not lie.

    Did you mean it when you said goodbye?

    (instrumental verse)

    Honey, you’re shoulder’s colder than the Brainerd snow.

    Funny, I never thought I’d have to let you go.

    Cuz darlin’ you’ve got me eatin’ from the palm of your hand.

    I’m just pinin’ like a cactus flower in the desert sand.

    Now when I said I love you, I did not lie.

    Did you mean it when you said goodbye?

    Now honey, I’m not fixin’ on someone new.

    Funny, all I’m thinkin’ ’bout is loving you.

    Cuz darlin’ you’ve got me eatin’ from the palm of your hand.

    I’m just pinin’ like a cactus flower in the desert sand.
