Turn Turn Turn
@ Janin Devi
Het nummer 'Turn! Turn! Turn!' is wereldberoemd gemaakt door The Byrds. Die hadden hadden het nummer overigens niet zelf geschreven. Het komt van de hand van Pete Seeger, die op zijn beurt de tekst heeft gehaald uit het bijbelboek Prediker.
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season
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
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to buid 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 turn, turn, turn
There is a season
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
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 turn, turn, turn
There is a season
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rain, a time of sow
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
