Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Bite your lip and take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
And you cannot slip

Just move on up
Towards your destination
Though you may find from time to time complications
Just move on up

Take nothing less than the supreme best
Do not obey for most people say 'cause you can past the test

Just move on up
For peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind
Just move on up

Hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by…

Just move on up
And keep on wishing
Remember your dreams are only your schemes
So keep on pushing
Just move on up
