Young child with dreams
dreamin' each 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 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 els would come
Shilo, you always came
and we'd play

Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She make 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 els would come
Shilo, you always came
and we'd play

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 els would come
Shilo, you always came
and we'd play
Shilo
