A parvenu is a person who is a relative newcomer to a socioeconomic class. The word is borrowed from the French language; it is the past participle of the verb parvenir (to reach, to arrive, to manage to do something).
The word parvenu typically describes a person who recently ascended the social ladder, especially a nouveau riche or "new money" individual. The famous Molly Brown, who survived the Titanic sinking in 1912, was portrayed as a "new money" individual in the "climbing social classes" musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown because of her impoverished Irish immigrant roots and lack of social pedigree.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines a parvenu as: "A person from a humble background who has rapidly gained wealth or an influential social position; a nouveau riche; an upstart, a social climber. Also in extended use. Generally used with the implication that the person concerned is unsuited to the new social position, esp. through lacking the necessary manners or accomplishments."

I lie with my blue sheet so blue
Wait for sunrise and what it brings
Wait for tomorrows, I look to find
So tired, sleep, rest in peace
Let the wind fulfill your dreams
Let the sea heal your wounds
Tell the trees secrets so deep
In a caftan of leaves I float
Sunrise bought me the peace I sought
I fly with no form to tie me down
I'm free to live to live
To let the wind heal my wounds
To let the sea fulfill my dreams
Tell the trees secrets so deep
Don't let them tie you down
