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

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.
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.
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.
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)
