THE LEAD SHOE BALLET

The human race will never learn
Tares among the wheat shall burn
And he who planted all the wheat
Knows that tares aren't good to eat
So when you see the harvest moon
You know your time is coming soon
How you'll protest that it's not fair
On learning that you were a tare

(chorus)
You're not the author
Of the lines in the play
You're just a dancer
In the lead shoe ballet

You shape your destiny each day
In all you do and all you say
You think that you're in full control
But you don't know the final goal
So don't protest that it's not fair
On finding that you are a tare
Remember that you had the chance
To learn the steps that make the dance

(repeat chorus)
