Turn! Turn! Turn! The Byrds, (words from the book of Ecclesiastes) (Chorus) To Ev'rything (turn, turn turn) There is a season (turn, turn turn) And a time for ev'ry 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. (Chorus) 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. (Chorus) A time to build up, a time to break down; A time to dance, a time to mourn; A time to cast way stones; A time to gather stones together. (Chorus) 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. (Chorus) 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 it's not too late. (Chorus)
