Turn Turn Turn
Lyrics adapted by Peter Link
Music by Pete Seeger

To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born
A time to move on
A time to sow
A time to reap
A time to despair
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 to 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 to every purpose under heaven

There are times of love
And times of hate
Times of war
And times of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

A time of darkness
A time for light
A time to speak
And a time to be quiet
A time of hope
And a time to let go
A time to grieve
And much time to rejoice

A time of doubt
And a time for prayer
A time of regret
And a time to be tough
A time of envy
And a time to respect
A time to complain
And a time for satisfaction

And when the hardest of these times appear
Rise up seem real transpire
Then it’s time to turn turn turn

To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain
A time to lose
A time to rend
A time to sew

A time of war
A time to create
A time of peace
I swear it’s not too late!

To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
To everything
Turn turn turn
There is a season
Turn turn turn
