Lyrics:

Chorus:
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

(Chorus)

A time to build up, 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 sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
