(Chorus:)
To everything - turn, turn, turn -
there is a season - turn, turn, turn -
and a time to 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 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.
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 sow,
a time of love, a time of hate,
a time for peace, I swear it's not too late.
Chorus (bis)
