The sentiment behind this song applies to people whom I know who struggle to find themselves and who search for a new beginning.

This song is about a friend's encouragement to another who has difficulty with life's challenges and often succumbs to the will of others. The friend offers the "dream catcher" as a way to take away the troubles and start fresh.

Lyrics
Dream Catcher by Mark Shapiro Sept. 2010
Intro: Dm Bb (2 times)
Dm Bb F C Dm
In the darkness of the night, you hold on to your dreams so tight
Dm
If the daylight is too bright, you settle for what others think is right
Bb F C Dm
As the days and nights unfold, the facts you can't deny
Bb F C Dm Bb F C
You can't be bought and sold, the price is much too high hm hm hm
Dm
Deep thoughts and a clever mind, won't make you a legend in your time
Dm
If you ride a wave too high, you may come crashing down inside
Bb F C Dm
As the days and nights unfold, the facts you can't deny
Bb F C Dm Bb F C
You can't be bought and sold, the price is much too high hm hm hm
CHORUS
Bb F C Bb F C
Say hello to the dream catcher. You can put away what ever has you down
Bb F C Bb F C
You can start anew with the dream catcher and go around and around and around
