Lyrics for Move on Up - Extended Version

Hush now child and don't you cry Your folks might understand you by and by Just move on up towards your destination Though you may find from time to time complications Bite your lip and take a trip Though there may be wet road ahead And you cannot slip Just move on up for 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 Move on up and keep on wishing Remember your dream is your only scheme so keep on pushing Take nothing less than for second best And do not obey you must have your say But you can past the test Just move on up to a greater day With just a little faith you can put your mind to it You can surely do it Just move on up, move on up We'll move on up, whatcha just move on up We'll move on up, move on up
