Young child with dreams,
Dream 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 else would come,
Shilo, you always came, and we’d play.
Counting the years,
Keepin my dreams to myself,
Till a young girl with fire
Made me trust somebody else.
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, but you’d stay.
Had a dream and it filled me with wonder,
She had other plans, got to go, said
She’d know that I’d understand, I understand.
Shilo, when I was young I used to call your name.
When no one else would come,
Shilo, you always came, come today.
