Move On Up
Hush now child,
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Just move on up
towards your destination
You may find
from time to time
Complications
Bite your lip
and take a trip
Though there may be
wet road ahead
You cannot slip
Just move on up
and peace you will find
Into the steeple
of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind
So hush now child
and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you
by and by
Just move on up
and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams
are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Take nothing less -
not even second best
And do not obey -
you must have your say
You can pass the test
Move on up!
(Curtis Mayfield)

Chama-se a isto entrar no fim de semana cheio ritmo e em grande estilo.

(e assim disfarçado no meio da letra encontrei um dos grandes lemas da minha vida: "take nothing less - not even second best")
Não estivesse eu a trabalhar no fds, e serio de facto em grande, talvez em jantaradas ou a dançar algures...
:)))
Assim, contentei-me com um dia passado num cantinho lisboeta, a ler páginas e página, e ao som deste senhor e de mestre Caetano, em loop contínuo.
Faltaste tu, a fazer-me companhia no pedestal almofadado ;)
