There is a Season


Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season) by The Byrds, 1965

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 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 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) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven.
A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace 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 for every purpose, under heaven.
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 for peace, I swear its not too late.
