One Small Voice Lyrics - 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 

Speaking out in honesty 

Silenced, but not for long 

One small voice 

Speaking with the values we were taught as children

So you walk away 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 yourself 

Lies take their toll on you 

And everyone else 

One small voice speaking out in honesty 

Silenced, but not for long 

One small voice speaking with the values we were taught as children 

Tell the truth 

You can change the world 

But you'd 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: The Emperor's got no clothes on 

One small voice: The Emperor's got no clothes on 

One small voice can change the world 

But you'd better be strong
