I am trying to find the name and artist who sings a particular song. 
When I googled the lyrics,
 Job 28:1-12 kept coming up.  It's a contemporty song and is sung by a
male.   Here are some of the lyrics:

"Surley 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 underdsting and where can wisdom be found.  Oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,  oh oh oh.  The bird of pray has eased
upon me nor falcons I have seen. It's never been passed by the fears
of ...."

There is strong guitar presense in the song as well as a wonderful beat.

Hi  photomom,

The song you looking for is called "The Search" by Dolorean.

"...The album's title is taken from a book of poems by Robert Bly
entitled Silence in the Snowy Fields. James is a student of poetry and
literature, taking cues from what he reads and making his lyrics
poetry itself. Take some lyrics from the opening track, "The Search":

Surely there is a mine for silver and 
a place where they refine gold 
Iron is taken from the hills and 
Copper's taken from the ground 
So where is the place of understanding 
And where can wisdom be found?

"Dolorean's second album in under a year offers a gentle dose of
winsome country-rock harmonies, akin to such long-forgotten Seventies
hippie cowpokes as Pure Prairie League. The genial, anthemic tone is
set by the opener, "The Search", in which the songwriter Alex James
wonders: "Where is the place of understanding/ And where can wisdom be
found?", ultimately concluding that it can be found not, as one might
think, in libraries, but "in the fear of the Lord, and [in]
understanding those who depart from evil"..."
