[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]
