Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hush, now, child
And don't you cry
Your folks might understand ya
By and by
[Verse 2]
Move on up
Towards your destination
You may find
From time to time, a complication
[Verse 3]
Bite your lip
And take a trip
Though there may be wet road ahead
You cannot slip
[Verse 4]
Move on up
At peace, you'll find
And into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind
[Verse 5]
So hush, now, child
And don't you cry
Your folks might understand ya
By and by
[Verse 6]
Just move on up
And keep on wishin'
Remember your dreams are your only schemes
So keep on pushin'
[Verse 7]
Take nothin' less
Not even second best
Do not obey what most pastors say
You can pass the test
[Verse 8]
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
[Verse 9]
(Move on up, child, you gotta move)
(Move on up, child, you gotta move on)
(Move on up, child, you gotta move)
(Move on up, child, you gotta move on)
(Move on up, child, you gotta move)
(Move on up, child, you gotta move on)
(Move on up, child, you gotta move)
(Move on up, child, you gotta move on)
[Verse 10]
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
(Keep on pushin')
