Curtis Mayfield

Move On Up

Hush now child and don't you cry

Your folks might understand you by and by

So in the mean time, move on up towards your destination

Though you may find from time to time complications

Bite your lip and take a trip

Though there may be wet road ahead

And you cannot slip so what you wanna do

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

So what are we wanna do is move on up for a greater day

But just you gonna make it, you put your mind to it, you can surely do it

Take nothing less than the supreme best

Do not obey for most people say 'cause you can past the test

So what we have to do is move on up and keep on wishing

Remember your dream is your only scheme so keep on pushing

So hush now child and don't you cry

Your folks might understand you by and by

Move on up for a greater day but just you gonna make it

You put your mind to it, you can surely do it

Move on up, we can to move on up

Move on up, move on child I wanna move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up
