Move On Up Lyrics
[00:14.04] Hush now, child
[00:17.40] And don't cry
[00:20.67] Your folks might understand you
[00:24.24] By and by
[00:27.53] Just move on up
[00:30.43] Toward your destination
[00:34.08] Though you may find
[00:35.72] From time to time, complication
[00:54.68] Bite your lip
[00:57.96] And take the trip
[01:01.53] Though there may be wet road ahead
[01:04.84] And you cannot slip
[01:08.60] Just move on up
[01:11.72] For peace you'll find
[01:15.41] Into the steeple of beautiful people
[01:18.81] Where there's only one kind
[01:22.65] So hush now, child
[01:25.81] And don't you cry
[01:29.24] Your folks might understand you
[01:32.80] By and by
[01:36.33] Move on up
[01:39.76] And keep on wishing
[01:43.13] Remember your dream is your only scheme
[01:46.36] So keep on pushin'
[02:03.87] Take nothing less
[02:07.24] Than the supreme best
[02:10.89] Do not obey rumors people say
[02:14.11] So you can pass the test
[02:17.80] Just move on up
[02:21.08] To a greater day
[02:24.77] With just a little faith
[02:26.32] You can put your mind to it
[02:28.04] You can surely do it
[02:32.68]
[00:17.40] And don't cry
[00:20.67] Your folks might understand you
[00:24.24] By and by
[00:27.53] Just move on up
[00:30.43] Toward your destination
[00:34.08] Though you may find
[00:35.72] From time to time, complication
[00:54.68] Bite your lip
[00:57.96] And take the trip
[01:01.53] Though there may be wet road ahead
[01:04.84] And you cannot slip
[01:08.60] Just move on up
[01:11.72] For peace you'll find
[01:15.41] Into the steeple of beautiful people
[01:18.81] Where there's only one kind
[01:22.65] So hush now, child
[01:25.81] And don't you cry
[01:29.24] Your folks might understand you
[01:32.80] By and by
[01:36.33] Move on up
[01:39.76] And keep on wishing
[01:43.13] Remember your dream is your only scheme
