Turn! Turn! Turn!

Lyrics for: Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)

(from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) To everything (Turn, turn, turn) There is a season (Turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose Under Heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything (Turn, turn, turn) There is a season (Turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose Under Heaven A time to build up, a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together To everything (Turn, turn, turn) There is a season (Turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose Under Heaven A time of war, a time of peace A time to love, a time to hate A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing To everything (Turn, turn, turn) There is a season (Turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose Under Heaven A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sow A time for love, a time for hate A time for peace, I swear it's not too late. written by Pete Seeger
