Pete Seeger - The Emperor Is Naked Today-O! lyrics

As the sun Rose on the rim of eastern sky And this one World that we love was trying to die We said stand! And sing out for a great hooray-o! Your child may be the one to exclaim The emperor is naked today-o! Four winds that blow Four thousand tongues, with the word: survive Four billion souls Striving today to stay alive We say stand! And sing out for a great hooray-o! Why don't we be the ones to exclaim The emperor is naked today-o! Men - have failed Power has failed, with papered gold Shalom - salaam Will yet be a word where slaves were sold We say stand! And sing out for a great hooray-o! We yet may find the way to exclaim The emperor is naked today-o!
