MOVE ON UP

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,
Complication.

Bite your lip
and take a trip.
Though there may be wet road ahead,
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
not even second best.
Do not obey
what those people say,
you can Pass the Test.
Just Move On Up
to a Greater Day.
Just make your own fate.
If you put your mind to it
you can surely do it.


Just Move On Up. Move On Up.
