turn! turn! turn! lyrics

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season) The Byrds music by Pete Seeger words adapted from the Book of Ecclesiastes by Pete Seeger To everything - turn, turn, turn There is a season - turn, turn, turn And a time for every purpose under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to laugh, a time to weep A time to kill, a time to heal To everything - turn, turn, turn There is a season - turn, turn, turn And a time for 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 And a time for every purpose under heaven There is a season - turn, turn, turn A time of war, a time of peace A time of love, a time of hate A time you may embrace A time to refrain from embracing There is a season - turn, turn, turn And a time for every purpose under heaven To everything - turn, turn, turn A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time to love, a time to hate A time of peace, I swear it's not too late!
