Eyes Of Man

C F

C
ah many a man has built his own temple
C
shown to convey his grace and sk!ll
C
having red domes, pillars and arches
C
all fashioned to fit his will
C
when over men observe it’s beauty
C
they stand and see and sigh and say
C
great is your work, oh yes, oh builder
                F              C
your fame shall never fade away

C
those who do not know and do not know
C
that they do not know, are foolish, avoid them
C
then there is woman, a builder of nations
C
laden with labour, love and care
C
they place each pillar with pride and patience
           F                     C
pops every plan she’ll pose to a prayer
F                          C
those who do not know that know
C
that they do not know, are children, a dark girl

C                F
but few men will praise her cause and omen
C
some may not even understand
            F
most of the struggle borne by woman
C                               F
is seldomly held in the eyes of man
C
those who know and do not know
C
that they know, they’re asleep, awake them

C
so be the temples men have cherished
C
crumbled in ruins to rot and rust
C
no lies each pillar and arch to perish
C
doomed to decay and rot to dust
F                C
oh but those who know and know that they know
C
are of wisdom, appreciate them

C
oh but the temples created in woman
C
never have failed in statue and goal
C
deep in her heart she fills her temple
C          F                C    F C
in her own child her mortal soul
