One Small Voice Lyrics

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
