Turn! Turn! Turn! By the Byrds
To everything - turn, turn, turnThere is a
season - turn, turn, turnAnd a time for every
purpose under heavenA time to be born, a time
to dieA time to plant, a time to reapA time to
kill, a time to healA time to laugh, a time to
weepTo everything - turn, turn, turnThere is a
season - turn, turn, turnAnd a time for every
purpose under heavenA time to build up, a time
to break downA time to dance, a time to mournA
time to cast away stonesA time to gather stones
together
To everything - turn, turn, turnThere is a
season - turn, turn, turnAnd a time for every
purpose under heavenA time of war, a time of
peaceA time of love, a time of hateA time you
may embraceA time to refrain from embracingTo
everything - turn, turn, turnThere is a season -
turn, turn, turnAnd a time for every purpose
under heavenA time to gain, a time to loseA
time to rend, a time to sewA time to love, a
time to hateA time of peace, I swear it's not
too late!
