[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 will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people where there's only one kind
[Verse 3:]
So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
[Chorus:]
Move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dream is your only scheme so keep on pushing
[Verse 4:]
Take nothing less than the supreme best
Do not obey for most people say that you can pa** 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
[Outro:]
Just move on up
Move on up
Move on up
Oh, child, just move on up
Move on up
Move on up
