 Masonic quotes by Brothers

Oh That Rough Ashlar

If I should win the lottery,
(and that's the way it otta-be),
then I'd give up my never-be
and set myself forever free.

If I should find rare coinery,
(and that's the way it otta-be),
then I'd give up my couldn't-be,
and set myself forever free.

If I should gain fine jewelry,
(and that's the way it otta-be),
then I'd give up my shouldn't-be
and set myself forever free.

Never-be, couldn't-be, shouldn't-be,
how did they gain their mastery
to cloud my self-discovery?
(Is that the way it otta-be?)

If I should win my liberty,
(and that's the way it otta-be),
then I'd give up my slavery,
and set myself forever free.

But what-if my "IF" should never-be?
Some rather "When" than "IF" you see,
for "When" is like a future tree,
and "IF" is just a doubt-in-me.

A real good "WHEN" is gold to me.
A bad "WHEN" is a grave to-be.
Now good "WHAT-IFS" can set me free,
but bad "WHAT-IFS' can bury me.

So how then should it otta-be?
It seems God left it up to me
to search each possibility
within my heart's own treasury.
