N.B. Lyrical edit liberties taken – it may be there is an appropriate time for hate, killing and war (as per the original Peter Seeger lyric) but much as I love this song I just can’t, regardless of source (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8), bring myself to lend voice to such ideas. No disrespect intended. No commercial intent in the covering of this song. It has been recorded purely for the love of the song. All rights remain with the respective composer/owner.
[Chorus]
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose under heaven
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 1]
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to laugh, a time to weep
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to throw … to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
A time for silence, a time to speak
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time for love, a time for peace
A time to forgive one another 😉
[Repeat Chorus x2]
