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!
