Turn, Turn, Turn
A time to build up,
A time to break down,
A time to dance, A time to mourn,
A time to cast stones,
A time to gather stones together.
To everything, Turn, turn, turn,
There is a season,
Turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose
Under heaven.
---Pete Seeger
Adapted from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
