You got ta move
you got ta move
you got ta move child
you gotta move
but when the Lord
gets ready
you got ta move.
You may be high
you may be low
you may be rich, child
you may be po'
but when that Lawd
gets ready
you got to move.
You see dat woman
dat walk the street
you see 'at po-o-o-liceman
out on his beat
but when the Lord
gets ready
you gotta move
