[Verse 1]
You got to move, you got to move
You got to move, child, you got to move
But when the Lord gets ready
You got to move

[Verse 2]
You may be high, you may be low
You may be rich, child, you may be po'
But when the Lord gets ready
You've got to move

[Verse 1]
You got to move, you got to move
You got to move, child, you got to move
But when the Lord gets ready
You got to move

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
See that woman who walks the street
See that policeman out on his beat
But when the Lord gets ready
You got to move
