Um, actually, dear Pete stole the lyrics from the Holy Buybull, lol! Turn, turn, turn Ecclesiastes CHAPTER 3:1-8 1 To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; To everything, there is a season. [1] 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to kill [2] 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to dance [3] 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. A time to rend [4] Pete Seeger rocked! R.I.P. Pete!
@@drivinsouth651 Stole is to harsh of a word. He popularized and brought the words to life for another 1,000 years! In early years he would tell who wrote it. The Byrds also recorded it.
God thank you 🙏 I was able to walk the earth the same time as he. I pray he has joined the heavenly choir & inspires those upon your dispatch to those who love you with the gift of music. 😢Blessings.😮💨
He sill HAS it!! He could captivate the audience. He kicked old age right in it's posterior!! I hope that he is, now, singing in the Heavenly choir. 😇.
This is so beautiful! This video encapsulates the key to his philosophy: cooperation, participation, solidarity. He sowed it all his life and then he reaped it :')
Thank you for uploading this. His voice isn't like before but he still manages to rally the people. Beautiful video, beautiful voice, of a beautiful man.
Almost certainly King Solomon didn't write it either. There are clues in its language that point to it having been written no earlier than 5oo years after the presumed date of Solomon's reign.
Pete said that line is referencing our long pass, when you had to kill animals to eat and had to defend yourself he said "they had to kill or we won't be here today', It doesn't mean we should kill
Lyrics: grab the nearest Bible and open it to Ecclasiestes 3:1-8. I'd argue the lyrics are not copyrighted since King Solomon died more than 70 years ago and therefore US law places the work in the public domain.
I pray I will be still this active at 91
The world need to hear this beautiful song and come together again
he took out a piece of paper and opened the Bible and saw Ecclesiastes 3:1, and the rest is history. RIP and may Heaven have you in God's band.
"I don't have much voice left. So I'll give you the words and you sing it." He did just that, gave us the words. RIP

Ecclesiastes
CHAPTER 3:1-8
1 To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
To everything, there is a season. [1]
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to kill [2]
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to dance [3]
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
A time to rend [4]
Pete Seeger rocked! R.I.P. Pete!
@@drivinsouth651I prefer to think he popularized the words :)

can't believe pete seeger singing this song at 91 with so much soul and energy ... respect respect respect .... RIP
A true American hero. A man of great integrity, character and courage.
Hero? I don't think so. But a poet for sure.
@@chebrneck I guess it depends on your definition of hero. Mine includes a person who struggles for decency, peace, equality and justice.
A lump in my throat and a tear in my eye! Pete you were and still are a legend! RIP man! xxx
So very moved by this - thank you!
What I wouldn't give to have been able to be at that performance

Love this song!
"i'll give you the words and you sing it' ...i think that pretty much encapsulates it. i'll miss you pete.

Thank-you PETE!! Thank-you!!! thanks for this amazing posting..
Turn Turn Turn is just a great piece of music..
Pete Seeger did not write the song, King Solomon wrote the song. Pete put it to music brilliantly.
Almost certainly King Solomon didn't write it either. There are clues in its language that point to it having been written no earlier than 5oo years after the presumed date of Solomon's reign.
Amen, King Solomon, anointed by Almighty God! RD Rumpff, Celina, Ohio USA.
American Treasure. Period!
wisdom singer
he meant it...and we tried so hard
From Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, "To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
But there is never a time to kill. Never
Pete said that line is referencing our long pass, when you had to kill animals to eat and had to defend yourself he said "they had to kill or we won't be here today',
It doesn't mean we should kill
El POETA ha hablado.
U gotta love the black folk.. they are like wtf lol
