lyrics

There is a mine for silver
there is a place where gold is tried
where copper's pulled up from the Earth
a man will search it out
in a place that's long forgotten
he dangles and he sways
below the Earth transformed with fire
its rock the source of sapphire

His eye sees all its treasures
He brings the hidden things to light
But where is wisdom found?
And where does understand dwell?
The Deep says, "it's not in me"
and the Sea says, "it's not here"
it can't be exchanged for the finest gold
it can't be bought or sold
Where is wisdom found?
Where does understanding dwell?
Death has heard a rumor
But God alone knows
He sees everything under heaven
for he set it and searched it out

To fear the Lord is wisdom
and to turn away from evil is understanding
