you got to move

You got to move;
You got to move;
Oh, don't you know it child?
Just why you got to move?
'Cause when the Lord gets ready,
You got to move.

Sometimes you're up;
Sometimes you're down;
Sometimes you're damn near
On a level with the ground.
But when the Lord gets ready,
You got to move.

There have been days
When I weep in vain;
My broken heart keeps calling,
Calling out your name.
But then the Lord gets ready;
You got to move.

You got to move;
You got to move;
You got to move, child;
You got to move.
'Cause when the Lord gets ready,
You got to move.
