A time to weep, a time to laugh | |
A time to gain A time to lose | |
Time to mourn a time to dance | |
A time to keep and throw away | |
time for silence Time to speak | |
Time to love A time to hate | |
A time for war A time for peace | |
And all this time From dust to dust | (12:7) |
The light is slowly growing dim | |
And when you find it's meaningless | |
Come to me | |
When all the light has gone |
