To Everything There Is A Season

Song: Turn Turn Turn 
Artist: The Byrds

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 fight, 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 for every purpose under heaven
A time of war, a time of peace
A time of love, a time of pain
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 for every purpose under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace,
I swear it´s not too late

Rebecca Lin 2007 Summer In USA

林貝卡 回複 悄悄話 The Byrds is an American rock and roll band. Their trademark songs include covers of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "My Back Pages" and Pete Seeger’s "Turn! Turn! Turn!", as well as the originals "I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better", "Eight Miles High" and "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star."

"Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)," is a song written by Pete Seeger, in which he set to music a text from the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3, verses 1–8). The Biblical text posits there being a time and place for all things: laughter and sorrow, healing and killing, war and peace, and so on. The lines are open to myriad interpretations, but as a song they are commonly performed as a plea for world peace, with stress on the closing line: "a time for peace, I swear it's not too late," the latter phrase being the only part of the lyric written by Seeger himself. It is one of few mainstream songs to set a large portion of ure to music, other examples being Boney M's "Rivers of Babylon" and Sister Janet Mead's "The Lord's Prayer".(Source: Wikipedia)
