Danny's Downs - Peter[00:00:00]
On the day little Danny arrived[00:00:13]
His father stared and his mother cried[00:00:17]
They knew his name but they didn't know why[00:00:20]
He looked the way he did[00:00:24]
This thing happens to other kids[00:00:28]
How in the world are we gonna live[00:00:31]
With a boy like that[00:00:34]
Doctor said Dan's the first bad news[00:00:40]
Second is his heart won't make it through[00:00:44]
It must be fixed unless you choose[00:00:48]
To send him back where he came[00:00:51]
Starve the boy from his name[00:00:56]
Just six short days of pain[00:00:59]
Or maybe less[00:01:02]
Danny's downs but love is up[00:01:08]
It's been known to be more than enough[00:01:11]
For more and more of us[00:01:15]
Danny's downs but love is up[00:01:21]
I'm not that strong his father said[00:01:37]
The dreams are gone the hopes have fled[00:01:40]
You won't be long after he's dead[00:01:44]
We'll try again to find[00:01:48]
The child we had in mind[00:01:52]
Where the hell are those papers to sign[00:01:55]
And the man broke down[00:01:58]
In a private room Danny's mother wept[00:02:04]
As an old Jamaican woman swept[00:02:07]
And not by chance their eyes met[00:02:12]
She said[00:02:14]
God's gifts are only good y'know[00:02:15]
And there ain't no love the Lord can't grow[00:02:19]
Aw honey take that boy with you when you go[00:02:22]
Back home[00:02:27]
Danny's Downs but love is up[00:02:31]
It's been known to be more than enough[00:02:35]
For more and more of us[00:02:38]
Danny's downs but love in[00:02:45]
But love is up[00:02:47]
It's been eight years since the surgery[00:03:08]
His sister's five his brother's three[00:03:12]
He goes to school and he knows how to read[00:03:16]
He takes the bus home by himself[00:03:20]
Puts his lunch pail back upon the shelf[00:03:23]
And he hugs his momma till[00:03:27]
She melts[00:03:30]
To the floor[00:03:31]
They're more than a home they're a family[00:03:36]
'Cause blood and bones are still souls y'see[00:03:40]
And someone's baby's just another Danny[00:03:43]
And in the guest room in the back[00:03:47]
Lives this old Jamaican black[00:03:50]
'Cause when you give a gift[00:03:54]
God gives it back again[00:03:56]
Danny's downs but love is up[00:04:03]
And it's been known to be more than enough[00:04:07]
For more and more and more[00:04:10]
More more more of us[00:04:12]
Danny's downs but love is up[00:04:17]
