[INTRO]
Oh Trevor, we should have known,
The truth was hard, but now it’s shown.
In our hearts, we carry the weight,
Of words unspoken, it’s too late.
[VERSE 1]
It’s not fair, the way the world can be,
You were born with a little extra chromie, can’t you see?
The doctor spoke in terms that you tried to understand,
But the way you struggle makes it hard to take a stand.
We watched you laugh, we watched you cry,
But seeing you talk in that voice makes us wanna ask why.
We never meant to hurt you, never meant to lie,
But every moment passes, and we just sigh.
[CHORUS]
Oh Trevor, we should have told you sooner,
But it’s too late now, living with Down syndrome,
With love so pure, who cares anyhow,
Can’t you see now how much it tore us apart?
[VERSE 2]
Remember that hamster, so small and sweet,
You held it with love, but the grip was too tight,
Those chocolate-chip eyes fell down to the floor,
And in that moment, innocence closed the door.
You spread your joy, but it’s a messy game,
On walls you painted just your piece of fame.
We laugh through the tears and the heartache,
But the silence between us feels harder to take.
[CHORUS]
Oh Trevor, we should have told you sooner,
But it’s too late now, living with Down syndrome,
With love so pure, it breaks our hearts,
Can’t you see how deeply torn apart?
[BRIDGE]
And I know you drool, I know you shout,
Your laughter echoes, there’s no doubt.
But in the world you paint all alone,
We promise to love you, you’re never on your own.
[HOOK]
Oh, it’s not fair, but we’ll stand strong,
Together we’ll face where we belong.
You’re more than a story, you’re our shining light,
We’ll walk this path, holding you tight.
[CHORUS]
Oh Trevor, we should have told you sooner,
But it’s too late now, living with Down syndrome,
With love so pure, it breaks our hearts,
Can’t you see how deeply torn apart?
