Born to live
Born to die
A time to laugh
A time to cry
A time to joke
A time to be serious
A time to be formal
A time for the colloquial
A time to speak
A time to be silent
A time for peace
A time for violence

A time for good
A time for bad
A time to be happy
A time to be mad
A time to walk
A time to crawl
A time for stability
A time to fall
A time to lose
A time to win
A time to take a break
But never a time
To give in

A time to watch
A time to get involved
A time to learn
A time to evolve
A time for healing
A time for pain
A time for waiting
A time to receive
Always is there
A time to believe

A time to choose
A time to have things chosen
A time for friends
A time for foes
About time to learn
That’s the way life goes
A time to take heed
A time to give advice
A time to realize
What’s already been said or done
Will have to suffice
Always a time to grow
Always a time to back up
And let go

A time to be slow
A time to be fast
A time to wonder
A time to know
A time to not only talk love
But let it show
Matter fact
Always let it show
So you can see the harvest
Seeds have
From the good that sew

A time for spring
A time for fall
A time for winter
A time for summer
A time for heat
A time for cold
A time for youth
A time to get old

A time to be stuck
A time to get out
Always a time for faith
Despite the
Periodic doubt
There’s a right time
For everything
Learn when
To do what
Spread the word
Appropriateness is preferred
Consider and practice propriety
(Because) being untimely
Can bring about notoriety
