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. . .
