Tekst piosenki
Hush now child, and don't you cry Your folks might understand you, by and by Move on up, toward your destination You may find from time to time Complication Bight your lip, and take a trip Though there may be wet road ahead And you cannot slip So move on up for peace 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 the second best Do not obey, you must keep your say You can past the test 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 Just move on up Move on up But move on up Oh child, but just move on up But move on up Move on up
