"Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There is a Season)", is a song adapted entirely from the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1 in The Bible (with the exception of the last line) and composed to music by Pete Seeger in 1959.

# To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: # A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; # A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; # A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; # A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; # A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; # A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; # A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3.

# To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: # A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; # A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; # A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; # A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; # A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; # A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; # A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. The "turn, turn, turn" part was added by Pete Seeger, the "author" of the song.
