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 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 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
- 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 to every purpose, under heaven
- A time to gain, a time to lose
- A time to rend, a time to sew
- A time for love, a time for hate
- A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Ecclesiastes 3
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, English Standard Version.
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
