Three times around the world I've been
Many ancient wonders I have seen
From North to South, East from West
From Heaven on high down to the Earth

And still I learn and so I yearn
To be a better man when I return
Strong and wise know beauty divine
When Solomon's Temple I do find

I'll give a sign, whisper a word
I'll shake a hand at the end of the long hard road
Part of a chain that must remain
Unbroken by hate nor pain
A wall so strong dividing right from wrong
Unyielding in tempestuous storms

Three heavenly steps I shall climb
Hiram's legend to unwind
To East from West a circle round
What once was lost now has been found

And if one day some man should say
That I have but my time did waste
To this man I will reply
Truth and love I can't deny

On the level I may be square
I'll need a compass to take me where
My journey ends with brothers and friends
A chain of hearts that will not bend
Of Saint John's wall I'll be a part
When I have learned the Royal Art
Unyielding in tempestuous storms
