How Can I Keep from Singing: Pete Seeger (1981)

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose under heaven.

The world will be saved by people fighting for their homes.

The key to the future of the world, is finding the optimistic stories and letting them be known.
