[Verse 1]
Oh many a man has built his own temple
Shown to convey his grace and skill
Having red domes and pillars and arches
All fashioned to fit his will

[Verse 2]
When other men observe its beauty
They stand and see and sigh and say
Great is your work, oh yes, oh builder
Your fame shall never fade away

[Refrain]
Those who do not know
And do not know that they do not know
Are foolish, avoid them

[Verse 3]
Then there is woman, a builder of nations
Laden with labor, love and care
They place each pillar with pride and patience
Pops every plan she'll pose to a prayer

[Refrain]
Those who do not know
And know that they do not know
Are children, adopt them
[Verse 4]
But few men will praise her cause and omen
Some may not even understand
Most of the struggle borne by woman
Is seldom beheld in the eyes of man

[Refrain]
Those who know
And do not know that they know
They're asleep, awake them

[Verse 5]
So be the temples men have cherished
Crumbled in ruins to rot and rust
Lord lies each pillar and arch to perish
Doomed to decay and rot to dust

[Refrain]
Oh but those who know
And know that they know
Are of wisdom, appreciate them

[Verse 6]
Oh but the temples created in woman
Never have failed in statue and goal
Deep in her heart she fills her temple
In her own child's immortal soul
