Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you, by and by
Just move on up toward your destination
Though you may find, from time to time, complication
Bite your lip and take the trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip
Just move on up for peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people where there's only one kind
So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dream is your only schemes so keep on pushing
Move on up
Bring it on
Take nothing less than the supreme best
Do not obey for most people say that you can pass the test
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, keep on wishing
Move on up
Oh, child, just move on up
Move on up, try it
Move on up, till the end of the day
Alright
Come on
Move on up
Move on up, you gonna make it
Move on, put your mind to it
You can show to do it, movin', groovin'
