Analysis of A Time For Everything 2



A time for healing
To forgive all hurtful deeds
To find truest love

A time to destroy
Delusions and false beliefs
Which distort the truth

A time to rebuild
Like a phoenix from ashes
Our city of hope

A time for crying
To release the heart's sorrow
From the crushing woe

A time for laughing
To seize humorous moments
To lift the spirit
