Tiny Dancer
Who will you dance for little puppet
Who will take you by the hand
Direct the music lay out the steps
As you traverse this arid land
A mind directed by the Grace of God
This studded mine field safely trod
Or flying by the seat of pants
As everything within you quietly rants
Do you recognize the tune
Have you heard it before
Will you dance this jitterbug convulsively
To your detriment evermore
Will you? Can you?Be your friend.
Put this macabre dance to its end
Take a step a little one then another too
Deliberate the next in this elaborate soft shoe
When you falter forgive your missed step
Determine better the Great Coreographer to rep
And know yes know you are still on his dance card
