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

So 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 pass the test

Move on up
