text: On the day little Danny arrived
  His father stared and his mother cried
  They knew his name but they didnt know why
  He looked the way he did
  This thing happens to other kids
  How in the world are we gonna live
  With a boy like that?
  Doctor said,Dans the first bad news
  Second is his heart wont make it through
  It must be fixed unless you choose
  To send him back where he came
  Starve the boy from his name
  Just six short days of pain
  Or maybe less
  Chorus:
  Dannys Downs but Love is up
  Its been known to be more than enough
  For more and more of us
  Dannys downs but Love is up
  Im not that strong, his father said
  The dreams are gone, the hopes have fled
  Wont be long after hes dead
  Well try again to find
  The child we had in mind
  Where the hell are those papers to sign?
  And the man broke down
  In a private room Dannys mother wept
  As an old Jamaican woman swept
  And not by chance their eyes met
  Gods gifts are only good yknow
  And there aint no Love the Lord cant grow
  Aw honey, take that boy with ya when ya go
  Back home
  Its been eight years since the surgery
  His sisters 5, his brothers 3
  He goes to school and he knows how to read
  He takes the bus home by himself
  Puts his lunch pail back upon the shelf
  And he hugs his Momma till she melts
  To the floor
  Theyre more than a home, theyre a family
  Cause blood and bones are still souls ysee
  And someones babys just another Danny
  And in the guest room in the back
  Lives this old Jamaican black
  Cause when you give a gift
  God gives it back again
