Famous Faces




 

 

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
