Of time 'twas told that seasons be;
A time for all activity.

An hour for birth, an hour to die.
To laugh and play, an hour to cry.

An hour to kill, an hour to heal;
An hour to tear, an hour to seal.

An hour to wail, an hour to dance...
Every moment awaits to strike thy glance.

An hour to throw, an hour to gather;
An hour to scatter, to bring back together.

An hour to embrace, an hour to keep,
An hour to give up and weep.

An hour of silence, an hour to speak;
An hour to act like you're feeble and weak.

An hour of love, an hour of hate;
An hour to give up on fate.

A second for war, ten decades for peace;
An hour of God, of eternal happiness.
