Ghost Hotel
Written by Karen Morand May 2019 NAC Ottawa
Down here in this grand ol’ ghost hotel
I’m a guest and a ghost as well
Searching for my name on these hallowed halls - do I belong?
I’ve been hanging out in this sad graveyard
Forgot how to breathe when life got hard
Digging for them bones, them bones, them bones that rattle to life
Come on baby, baby, baby - take me by the hand
Daylight’s fading, fading, fading
Don’t stop ‘til we hit the Promised Land
I’ve been sleeping rough in in the broken down shack
I sold off my heart, now it won’t come back
You don’t know what you need, you don’t know what you want
Until it is gone, long gone
Come on baby, baby, baby - take me by the hand
Daylight’s fading, fading, fading
Don’t stop ‘til we hit the Promised Land
I’m haunted, I’m haunted through and through
I’m haunted, I’m haunted through and through
I’m haunted, I’m haunted through and through
I’m haunted, I’m haunted and I need you, I need you
Come on baby, baby, baby - take me by the hand
Daylight’s fading, fading, fading
Don’t stop ‘til we hit the Promised Land

Beautiful Scars
Things are tough – you are tougher
The storm is rough – you’re made for rougher
Courage my love – you won’t suffer much longer
It’s always darkest before it’s brighter
The night is strong but you are mightier
It’s time to wake up that prize fighter - Rise up, rise up!
These line tell a story of who you are
You’ll bend but not break - you’ll heal with scars
Your beautiful scars
Beautiful scars
They tried to break you - you got stronger
You can endure – but how much longer?
Deep inside there’s a hunger – a fire that will not burn out!
You are outnumbered but not alone
You are fearless to the bone
On the Solid Rock you build your home - no one can tear you down
eautiful Scars

Beautiful scars
I still believe
Roll up my sleeves
The battles on
I’ve just begun to embrace my beautiful scars

Locked Down and Out Blue -written by Karen Morand and Justin Latam 2020
I’ve been restless and pacing now - floorboards are wearing thin
These 4 walls I’m staring down are starting to close in
All these days, all these nights doing hard time missing you
I just can’t shake it - I’m locked down and out blue
Ain’t no sunshine this morning - storm clouds rolling in
I used to walk on water -it’s time to sink or swim
All these days, all these nights doing hard time missing you
I just can’t shake it - I’m locked down and out blue
Before this all went down
Weren’t we all just safe and sound?
But things they went oh so wrong
So what’s it gonna take to make your cold heart break
And get you to come back around?
I’m stuck in an hourglass moments fall one by one
Every grain is an avalanche - it just keeps piling on
All these days, all these nights doing hard time missing you
I just can’t shake it - I’m locked down and out blue

Never Enough
Do you hear me crying out to you
When the troubles of this world get you down?
And you go and do the things you do
Do you hear me crying out to you?
Oh love, don’t let it get to you
You gotta give it up, give it all you got
Why you gotta make it so tough
With you , you know, it’s never enough
Do you hear me begging you to stay
When the day has got the best part of you?
and you go and hide yourself away
Do you hear me begging you to stay? (don’t push me away…)
Oh love, don’t let it get to you
You gotta give it up, give it all you got
Why you gotta make it so tough
With you , you know, it’s never enough
Oh love, don’t let it get to you
You gotta give it up, give it all you got
Why you gotta make it so tough
With you , you know, it’s never enough
Oh love, don’t let it get to you
You gotta give it up, give it all you got
Why you gotta make it so tough
With you , you know, it’s never enough
