[Verse 1] Young child with dreams Dreaming each dream on your own When children play Seems like you end up alone [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2 version 1] Counting the years Keeping my dreams to myself Till a young girl with fire Made me trust somebody else [Verse 2 version 2] Young girl with fire Something said she understood I wanted to fly She made me feel like I could [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Pre-Chorus 3] 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 [Chorus] Shilo when I was young I used to call your name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came Come today [Outro] Shilo Shilo
