One Small Voice — текст песни (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
