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 less nothing 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
