Surely there is a mine for silver and a place where they refine gold
Iron is taken from the hills and copper is taken from the ground

So where is the place of understanding?
And where can wisdom be found?
Whoa...oo...ooo...

No bird of prey has gazed upon it, nor falcons I have seen
It's never been passed by the fierce lion or trolled upon by earthly beast

So where is the place of understanding?
And where can wisdom be found?
Whoa...oo...ooo...

Pure gold cannot be traded for it
Please don't mention crystal wear
The topaz of africa can not equal it and
Fine pearls fail to compare

So where is the place of understanding?
And where can wisdom be found?

Wisdom can be found in the fear of the Lord and
understanding knows who depart from evil
Wisdom can be found in the fear of the Lord and
understanding knows who depart from evil
Whoa...oo...ooo...
