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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
A time to gain, a time to lose
|
A time to rend, a time to sew
|
A time of love, a time of hate
|
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late
|
|

To every thing there is a season, and a time
|
to every purpose under the heaven:
|
|
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
|
to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is
|
planted;
|
|
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to
|
break down, and a time to build up;
|
|
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time
|
to mourn, and a time to dance;
|
|
A time to cast away stones, and a time to
|
gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a
|
time to refrain from embracing;
|
|
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to
|
keep, and a time to cast away;
|
|
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to
|
keep silence, and a time to speak;
|
|
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of
|
war, and a time of peace.
