Young child with dreams
Dream every 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 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, 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” said she’d know I’d understand
I understand

Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come….
