In the darkness, the babe lies screaming
Little arms, tiny legs, & little heart beating
In his home, in his bed
Abused, alone, & frightened!
His parents have gone out
Left him quietly sleeping
But he\'s out of his cot and
Down the corridor he\'s creeping.
In his parent\'s bedroom
Push the door, it\'s open....
The fireplace looks inviting
Pull the grating, it\'s broken!
The flames are dancing
In all their pretty colours
Baby wants to hold the flames
Puts out his hands to grab them!
In the darkness, the babe lies screaming
Little arms, tiny legs, heart no longer beating
His parents have come home
In their bedroom, he is quietly sleeping
