C
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
