The Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber song "10,000 Hours" has never been performed so beautifully.

Nicole Powell recently shared a video of her 6-year-old son Rayce singing to his baby brother Tripp. The video quickly went viral and it is easy to see why. At the time of the video, Tripp was just seven weeks old. The precious baby has Down's Syndrome and it is clear that his big brother is going to be his protector for life, as reported here at Good Morning America.

Tripp had to spend the first few weeks of his life in the ICU. During his hospital stay, he was loved on continually by his family, including Rayce who visited him every day. The family from Cabot, Arkansas said that Rayce would visit Tripp after school and tell him all about his day. They had a strong bond since day one.

Each time the popular song would come on, Rayce would tell Tripp that the song was for him. The touching lyrics about spending 10,000 hours to get to know your heart was the perfect match for Rayce and Tripp's special relationship.

One day, Powell caught Rayce singing the song on video. She knew that she had to post it in order to bring awareness to Down's Syndrome. In the Facebook post, Powell reminds people that love does not count chromosomes.

Powell is a mom of four other children and she is proud how all of them are handling Tripp's diagnosis. Her oldest son Jayce is even using his own social media account to spread awareness.

Powell admits to being scared when she first learned about the diagnosis when she was pregnant with Tripp. However, she said that all of her doubts completely disappeared when Tripp was born and she heard him cry for the first time.

You can now watch this adorable video for yourself. It is hard to not fall in love with both Rayce and Tripp after watching this sweet moment. After you have watched the video, be sure to spread the sweetness to all of your friends and family. It is easy to share Powell's message of inclusion with a video as cute as this one.
