Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)
Pete SeegerOriginale | Additional verses by Toshi Seeger |
TURN! TURN! TURN! (TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON) 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 it’s not too late | TURN! TURN! TURN! (TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON) A time for work, a time for play A time for night, a time for day A time to sleep, a time to wake A time for candles on the cake. A time to dress, a time to eat A time to sit and rest your feet A time to teach, a time to learn A time for all to take their turn. A time to cry and make a fuss A time to leave and catch the bus A time for quiet, a time for talk A time to run, a time to walk. A time to get, a time to give A time to remember, a time to forgive A time to hug, a time to kiss A time to close your eyes and wish. A time for dirt, a time for soap A time for tears, a time for hope A time for fall, a time for spring A time to hear the robins sing. |
