Part of the curse, Turn
Turn Turn
The first part was
Mr. Tambourine Man
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
Pete Seeger, 1959
