daveesh Aug 23, 2011 - 05:13	as anybody who knows me well can attest, it isn't often that i go around quoting passages from the bible but i had to know how closely this song follows ecclesiastes and whaddya know, there it is. i never knew this! 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. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth? ¶ I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. [ Reply ]

Rather, I have always thought of it as a song about the Earth, a rememberance of how things move in cycles. That there is renewal and rebirth after death is not necessarily a religious notion. One only need go for walks in the woods throughout the seasons of the year to see the truth of this. I so agree, have never thought of this song as religious, not in any way [ Reply ]

This is almost a verbatim quote from the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible (except for the "I swear it's not too late" bit). Excellent lyrics! ...and who wrote those lyrics? . . . . . . Pete Seeger! He also wrote this one. Neil [ Reply ]

hcg11 May 05, 2003 - 10:01	Originally Posted by tomnam: I think Toni Smith (the college basketball player who is turning her back on the American flag during the Pledge of Allegiance) should listen to this song and re-think her actions - it's a time to not turn our backs on each other... Since when in this country are we not allowed to express how we feel, even if it doesn't agree with the norm? Isn't freedom of expression what this country is supposed to be about? I think people need not be so quick to judge someone else just b/c their opinions are different from the majority. So, there's my two cents... [ Reply ]

Joyfulchristine Apr 04, 2003 - 19:48	Originally Posted by warwalker: Oh man, the song (and, although I'm no biblical scholar, I am therefore guessing that the Old Testament) even says "a time to every purpose under heaven". Yep, you're right. This is almost a verbatim quote from the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible (except for the "I swear it's not too late" bit). Excellent lyrics!
