Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ah, yeah

Mhmm

Listen

[Verse 2]

We're a winner

And never let anybody say

Boy, you can't make it

'Cause a feeble mind is in your way

No more tears do we cry

And we can finally dry our eyes

'Cause we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)

[Verse 3]

We're living proof in all's alert

That we're two from the big black earth

And we're a winner

And everybody knows it too

Ya just keep on pushin'

Ah, like your leaders tell ya to

At last that blessed day has come

And I don't care where you come from

'Cause we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)

[Verse 4]

Yeah

Well, yeah, yeah (Movin', movin', movin')

Movin', groovin' (Movin', movin', movin', movin')

[Verse 5]

We're just movin' on up, yeah, yeah (Movin' on up)

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up, yeah (Movin' on up)

Oh, we're just movin' on up (Movin' on up)

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up (Movin' on up)

[Verse 6]

Hey, now I don't mind leavin' here

To show the world we have no fear

'Cause we're a winner

And everybody knows it too

Ya just keep on pushin'

Like your leaders tell ya to

At last that blessed day has come

And I don't care where you come from

We're just movin' on up (Movin' on up)

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up, yes, we are (Movin' on up)

We're just movin' on up

Lord, have mercy, we're movin' on up (Have mercy, mercy)

[Verse 7]

(Movin', movin', movin', movin')

(Movin', movin', movin', movin')

(Movin', movin', movin', movin')

Movin' on up, movin' on up

Movin' on up, movin' on up

(Movin', movin', movin', movin')

Movin' on up, movin' on up

Movin' on up, movin' on up

(Movin', movin', movin', movin')

[Verse 8]

Now I don't mind leavin' here, no, I don't

To show the world we have no fear

At last that blessed day has come

(Movin', movin')

And I don't care where you come from

(Movin', movin')

[Verse 9]

We movin' on up

(Movin', movin', oh, movin')

(Movin', movin', movin', movin')

(Movin', movin', movin', movin')

[Verse 10]

Movin'

Everywhere

Ooh, whoa, whoa

Movin'

[Verse 11]

Don't stop, keep on pushin', ooh
