0:14Hush now child
0:18And don't you cry
0:21Your folks might understand you
0:24By and by
0:28Move on up
0:31Towards your destination
0:34You may find
0:36From time to time
0:38Complications
0:55Bite your lip
0:58And take a trip
1:02Though there may be
1:03Wet road ahead
1:05You cannot slip
1:09Just move on up
1:12And peace you will find
1:16Into the steeple
1:17Of beautiful people
1:19Where there's only one kind
1:23So hush now child
1:26And don't you cry
1:29Your folks might understand you
1:33By and by
1:37Just move on up
1:40And keep on wishing
1:43Remember your dreams
1:45Are your only schemes
1:47So keep on pushing
2:04Take nothing less -
2:08Not even second best
2:11And do not obey -
2:13You must have your say
2:15You can past the test
2:18Just move on up
2:21To a greater day
2:25With just a little faith
2:27You can get your mind to it
2:29You can show how to do it
2:46Just move on up
2:50Move on up
2:53Move on up
2:56Just move on up
3:00Move on up
3:04Move on up
Hush now child And don't you cry Your folks might understand you By and by Move on up Towards your destination You may find From time to time Complications Bite your lip And take a trip Though there may be Wet road ahead You cannot slip Just move on up And 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 Just move on up And keep on wishing Remember your dreams Are your only schemes So keep on pushing Take nothing less - Not even second best And do not obey - You must have your say You can past the test Just move on up To a greater day With just a little faith You can get your mind to it You can show how to do it Just move on up Move on up Move on up Just move on up Move on up Move on up
