Michael and Maureen Folz release several new songs
Michael and Maureen are using their new editing / mixing equipment to perfect some new songs, which are publishing-ready. (Watch for it on Spotify!) Here are two of the latest recordings. Check ’em out:
Pave the Planet
Pave The Planet
And head out for that Men Working sign
Because we’re building a new highway that’ll take us to tomorrow
And we’ve got to make it on time
We’re gonna detour around all the hate and destruction
They’re gonna have to yield when they enter the construction zone
So get all the people out and get on board
We’re gonna pave the planet with love
Chorus:
We’re gonna pave the planet with love
We’re gonna pave the planet with happiness
We’re gonna pave the planet with love
Now they’re telling us they’ve wrecked it and they say that there’s no exit
And they say that we can’t fix it any more
So we’re laying out asphalt ‘cause if we let them win by default
It’ll be nobody’s fault but mine and yours
We’ve got to build us a road that’s got no crack and no depression
Gotta pick up all this trash, we gotta clean up all this mess and
Tell your brothers and your sisters now to get on board
We’re gonna pave the planet with love
Chorus:
So come on down, the crew is working overtime
So come on down, ‘cause we’re headed for the finish line
So come on down, we’ve got to keep this Earth a movin’
‘Cause we gotta keep improvin’
The old right of way is calling, gotta keep those rollers rolling
Gotta make it to our goal and never quit
We’re gonna straighten, gonna widen, all the way to the horizon
No more fussin’, no more fightin’, this is it
We’ve got to do it today, ‘cause we’re only getting older
No more leaning on the shovel, no more standing on the shoulder
Tell your brothers and your sisters now to get on board
We’re gonna pave the planet with love
Chorus:
Sailing Away
Sailing Away On A Prayer
It’s a trial without ending in this place that we share
And there’s no use defending what will never be fair
When I look past this curtain that we seem to use
What you take for certain just leaves me confused
Between who I am and where you are
It’s just an ordinary love that’s gone too far
I call your name but you’re not there
And I’m sailing away
Sailing away on a prayer
If I gave you tomorrow would you promise the moon
Could we drown all our sorrow with too much too soon
If I offered devotion now didn’t you say
We could fly past this ocean, you would take me away
So I reach out and you retreat
We’re just two broken hearts and souls that never meet
I call your name but you’re not there
And I’m sailing away
Sailing away on a prayer
Frozen disharmony lost in a song
Pretending to dignity in a world that’s gone wrong
This weakness inside of me that’s leading me on
To be here in this fantasy where I’ll never belong
And so I stay and so it goes
And it’s just one more tenderness I’ll never know
I call your name but you’re not there
And I’m sailing away, sailing away
Sailing away on a prayer
Come take me away
Come take me away
Come take me away
