Turn, Turn, Turn!

Pete Seeger and others tell the story about this song…



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 kill, a time to heal. A time to laugh, a time to weep. To everything …
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 …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 …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 for peace, I swear its not too late...
