Shilo

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....
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....
