Curtis Mayfield Move On Up Lyrics

Move On Up Lyrics

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 



Bight 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 past the test



Move on up!
