Move on Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hush now, child
And don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
By and by
[Chorus]
Just move on up
Toward your destination
Though you may find, from time to time
Complication
[Verse 2]
Bite your lip
And take the trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip
[Chorus]
Just move on up
For peace you'll find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind
[Verse 1]
So hush now, child
And don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
By and by
[Chorus]
Move on up
And keep on wishin'
Remember your dream is your only scheme
So keep on pushin'
[Verse 3]
Take nothing less
Than the supreme best
Do not obey rumors people say
For you can pass the test
[Chorus]
Just move on up
To a greater day
With just a little faith, if you put your mind to it
You can surely do it
Just move on up
Move on up
But move on up
Oh, child, but just a-move on up
But move on up
Move on up
