One Small Voice — Carole King

ONE SMALL VOICE by Carole King

The emperor's got no clothes on No clothes-that can't be He's the emperor Take that child away Don't let the people hear the words he has to say

One small voice Speakin' out in honesty Sileneced but not for long One small voice Speakin' with the values we were taught as children

So you walk way and say Isn't he divine DOn't those clothes look fine On the emperor And as you take your leave You wonder why you're feeling so ill at ease Don't you know

Lies-take your soul You can't hide from your self Lies-take their toll on you and everyone else

One small voice Speakin' out in honesty Sileneced but not for long One small voice Speakin' with the values we were taught as children Tell the truth You can change the world But you better be strong

The emperor's got no clothes on No clothes He doesn't want to know what goes on Though everyone knows

One small voice can change the world But y'better be strong
