: is there a time

is there a time

is there a time for keeping your distance
a time to turn your eyes away
is there a time for keeping your head down
for getting on with your day

is there a time for kohl and lipstick
a time for cutting hair
is there a time for high street shopping
to find the right dress to wear

...

is there a time to run for cover
a time for kiss and tell
is there a time for different colours
different names you find it hard to spell

is there a time for first communion
a time for east 17
is there a time to turn to mecca
is there time to be a beauty queen

...

is there a time for tying ribbons
a time for christmas trees
is there a time for laying tables
and the night is set to freeze

u2 - miss sarajevo

there is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

ecclesiastes, chapter 3
