Sleepytime for Rafa

Great Cinnamon Bear lives among the stars
He comes from his world and down into ours
And though his teeth be long and his claws be sharp
The Great Cinnamon Bear has a most noble heart

He lumbers through the night, looking for dreamers
And stops when he finds some fast asleep sleepers
"Come with me!" he calls, and if you dare
You can ride on the back of Great Cinnamon Bear

Up, up you can fly straight on to the stars
Soaring towards a new world and right out of ours
To the Dream Land you'll go, a place without compare
As you ride on the back of Great Cinnamon Bear

You'll leap over asteroids and feel nothing finer
Than brushing the tails of Ursas major and minor
Past planets and comets, on through nebulae
You'll swim through the star-clouds of the Milky Way

And then glide away from the moons and the stars
Away from the Dream Land and back down to ours
For when adventure has filled up your head
Great Cinnamon Bear brings you back to your bed

And if you are afraid of the dark or nightmare
Worry not! These are breakfast to Cinnamon Bear
He eats up bad dreams and anything that will frighten
And keeps the night safe, 'til the sky starts to lighten

So dim now the lamp, and draw up the shade
It's time to depart to where dreams are made
Just close your eyes tight, and a sleepy smile wear
For you're off to adventure with Great Cinnamon Bear
