Fall asleep little girl,
don't be afraid of the night.
For your dreams will unfurl,
The man in the moon, he don't bite.
To protect you from nightmares,
I will hang a magic charm.
It has the strength of a bear,
and no loud alarm.
Its made out of love,
and its web woven beads.
Its pure like a dove,
it protects all your needs.
Its an Indian dream catcher,
made by our hands.
Its the nightmare snatcher,
and allows good dreams to stand.
