The other night I had a deram that was filled with one song. I think that I was singing it with Pete Seeger's voice. I did nor know what the song in the dream was telling me, until I felt inspired to use it in this 2009 Blogblast ofr Peace post:
Turn, Turn, Turn
Words-adapted from The Bible, the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Music-Pete Seeger
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
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
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build 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
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build 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 (Turn, Turn, Turn)
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
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
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 (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Lovely post Nick! I went to a Roman Catholic School (I know, shocking isn't it??lol0 and we studied this song as the parallel to the bible. Still, even with the study, I enjoy the song.
ReplyDeletePeace this day my friend. and Peace everyday forward. ((hugs))
Thanks for bringing that song back to me. I hadn't thought of it in a long time and I love it.
ReplyDeleteYour Peace Globe is wonderful.

Great post for today Nick. It is time for the season for peace, sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteAnndi: You are right about folk songs! Old folkie than I am, I am considering grabbing my guitar, going out on the deck, and serenading anyone who will listen. Peace, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I haven't heard that song in such a long time. Wishing you Miles of Smiles and Peace to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteXmichra: Thank you. It must have been a good study, since Pete Seeger took the verses from Ecclesiastes 3! Peace to you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteCarol: You are most welcome. Turn, Turn, Turn is one of those songs that is, to me, universal and timeless. I must admit that I much prefer hearing Pete Seeger singing it to The Byrds version.
ReplyDeletePeace and justice to you and to our bleeding planet this day.
Peace to you, Alex's dad!
ReplyDeleteBond: Thank you. I believe that music speaks peace far better than words speak peace.
ReplyDeletePeace to you and all this day.
jmb: Thank you. I pray that a true season of peace will soon be with us.
ReplyDeletePeace to you and yours, my friend
Adelle Lauden: Thank you. May peace and joy be with you also.

ReplyDeletePace, dear Nick.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to sing that at my gran's funeral, but lost my nerve.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful song. I found both the old version by the Byrds and a new version on YouTube. Now I'll be humming it all night. :-)
Belated Peace Day best wishes to you.
I love that it came to you in a dream and you used it for our peace day. What a beautiful tribute. Those songs bring back memories, don't they?
