Turn, Turn, Turn
"Turn, Turn, Turn" is a song written by Pete Seeger and popularized circa 1965 in a 45 rpm single by The Byrds. It is commonly interpreted as an admonishing plea for world peace, framed in a reading from the Old Testament's Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 ("To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven..."). Upon closer inspection of the lyrics, one can see the author painfully recognizes that sometimes killing and war might be the only answer.
