Crossing Over is an honor song that is meant to give our loved ones wings. It was inspired by Tecumseh's (Shawnee) “Live Your Life” teaching, which states: “Prepare a noble death song for the day you go over the Great Divide… and sing that song like a hero marching home.” Gentile told her Dad she would write him such a song. Then realizing the depth of the promise, she prayed to ancestors for medicine.
