Story Behind The Song
This song, One Small Child was written with the intentions of helping children who have been sexuall abused. I have had personal experience in regards to this myself and so I decided to write a song to help other children in the hope that one day, if it made money, I could make a difference through the proceeds.
Song Description
The gentle flowing rythmn of this song belies the powerful lyrics that tell a story of Whose Looking After the Children ? Incest. The song doesn't hit you in the face because of this, and is easy and enjoyable to listen to... but sells a powerful and important message... in a gentle way.

Lyrics
? ONE SMALL CHILD ?© 2003 Karina Di Fabio
1. Little child. Innocence is something you are born with.
It?s okay to cry, if you lost it somewhere.
Who took it away. Was it someone you trusted.
It?s okay to say?
CHORUS : Whose looking after the children
Whose gonna save the innocence?. Of one small child.
BRIDGE : Out of the darkness and into the light.
It?s time now to heal it.
Out of the darkness and into the light.
2. When you go to sleep. Is there something that still haunts you.
It?s okay to feel. This time, you won?t die.
Are there colours that flash in your eyes and in your mind.
And faces you can?t see.
CHORUS : Whose looking after the children
Whose gonna save the innocence??..Of one small child.
BRIDGE : Out of the darkness and into the light.
It?s time now to heal it.
Out of the darkness and into the light..
3. Little child. Innocence is something you are born with.
It?s okay to cry??..
CHILD CHOIR : Whose looking after the children
Whose gonna save the innocence.
Whose looking after the children.
Whose gonna save the innocence??
Of one small child. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep my sweet baby.
Go to sleep. Go to sleep????.
