Young child with dreams,
dream every dream on your own
When children play,
seems like you end up alone
Papa says he loved to be with you,
if he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find;
there in your mind
Shilo, when I was young,
I used to call your name
When no one else would come,
Shilo you always came,
and we'd play
Young girl with fire,
something said she understood
I wanted to fly,
she made me feel like I could
Held my hand out, and I let her take me,
blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile;
she made me smile
Shilo, when I was young,
I used to call your name
When no one else would come,
Shilo you always came;
and you'd stay
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder;
she had other plans
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand",
I understand
Shilo, when I was young,
I used to call your name
When no one else would come. . .
