Move On Up Lyrics

[00:14.03] Hush now, child
[00:17.32] And don't cry
[00:20.74] Your folks might understand you
[00:24.30] By and by
[00:27.48] Just move on up
[00:30.57] Toward your destination
[00:34.12] Though you may find
[00:35.73] From time to time, complication
[00:41.15]
[00:54.72] Bite your lip
[00:57.91] And take the trip
[01:01.49] Though there may be wet road ahead
[01:04.72] And you cannot slip
[01:08.33] Just move on up
[01:11.88] For peace you will find
[01:15.56] Into the steeple of beautiful people
[01:18.92] Where there's only one kind
[01:22.22] So hush now, child
[01:25.88] And don't you cry
[01:29.19] Your folks might understand you
[01:32.80] By and by
[01:36.33] Move on up
[01:39.56] And keep on wishing
[01:43.06] Remember your dream is your only scheme
[01:46.49] So keep on pushin'
[01:50.26]
[02:03.72] Take nothing less
[02:07.18] Than the supreme best
[02:10.78] Do not obey rumors, people say
[02:13.97] So you can pass the test
[02:17.74] Just move on up
[02:21.03] To a greater day
[02:24.45] With just a little faith
[02:26.17] You can put your mind to it
[02:28.05] You can surely do it
[02:29.70]
