I Am But a Small Voice
From the “Roger Whittaker” website
“Since the summer of 1962 when he took his first steps on the road to a career in
entertainment, Roger Whittaker has become an outstanding star all over the world,
enjoying a series of highly acclaimed albums and a string of hit singles that includes
such classics as ‘Durham Town,’ ‘New World in the Morning,’ ‘I Don't Believe in 'If'
Anymore,’ and ‘The Last Farewell....’
“In conjunction with his first American tour in
1980, Roger launched a major international song
writing competition, Children Helping Children,
from the United Nations in New York through
UNESCO. Children from all over the world were
asked to submit lyrics and poems on the subject
of promoting peace and understanding, the best
of which Roger would put to music and record.
The contest attracted over one million entries
from 57 countries.
“The winner was 13-year-old Odina Batnag form Manila in the Philippines who was
flown to New York and introduced to the huge audience at Roger's Radio City Music
Hall concert where her entry ‘I Am But A Small Voice,’ was performed for the very first
time.
“The song has been released worldwide with all proceeds raised by sales being
donated to UNESCO's education for handicapped children programme...."

In 1981, the song was featured on an album recorded by Lea
Salonga, who was at that time a 9-year-old musical star in the
Philippines.
Since that time, Lea Salonga has gone on to become an
internationally-recognized singer and performer. Her voice is
featured in several Disney films – for example, she was the
singing voice of Princess Jasmine in the Aladdin movie in
1992, and she sang the part of Fa Mulan in the Mulan and
Mulan II films in 1998 and in 2004.
