2. 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.
... A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!
3. Turn! Turn! Turn!
The lyrics for "
Turn! Turn! Turn!" are from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 but modified for musical purposes.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: [kjv]
3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; [kjv]
For the purposes of the "
bird" discussion, we are interested in a time to sew, a time to reap and a time to store (into barns).
