Lyrics

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'll 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 wishin'

Remember your dream is your only scheme

So keep on pushin'

Take nothing less

Than the supreme best

Do not obey rumors people say

For 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

But move on up

Oh, child, but just a-move on up

But move on up

Move on up
