To everything, turn, turn, turn There is a season, turn, turn, turn And a time for every purpose under heaven 1) 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 2) 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. Chorus 3) A time to love, a time to hate, A time of war, a time of peace, A time you may embrace, A time to refrain from embracing. Chorus 4) 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 Chorus
