Young child with dreams,
F                            C
dreaming every dream on your own
              Dm
When children play,
               F       C
seems like you end up alone
C              F
Papa says he'd love to be with you,
C             F    Em  Dm C
if he had the time
C                  F                   G
So you turn to the only friend you can find;
F             G6    G
there in your mind
C
Shilo, when I was young,
C
I used to call your name
C
When no one else would come,
C
Shilo you always came,
C
and we'd play
C
Young girl with fire,
F                       C
something said she understood
            Dm
I wanted to fly,
            F           C
she made me feel like I could
C                     F
Held my hand out, and I let her take me,
C          F
blind as a child
C                 F                    G
All I saw was the way that she made me smile;
F           G6    G
she made me smile
C
Shilo, when I was young,
C
I used to call your name
C
When no one else would come,
C
Shilo you always came;
C
and you stayed
C  F  C   Dm C
C                   F
Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder;
C             F    Em  Dm C
she had other plans
 C                F                     G
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand",
F      G6    G
I understand
C
Shilo, when I was young,
C
I used to call your name
C
When no one else would come
C
Shilo you always came;
C
Come today
