Young child with dreams
Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mindShilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd playYoung girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I couldHeld 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 smileShilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And you'd stayHad a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand"
I understandShilo, when I was young
I used to call you name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
