Wheel of Time
By Douglas DoNascimento (Based on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
This song reflects on the inevitability of change and the cyclical nature of life, emphasizing that every moment—whether of joy, pain, war, or healing—has its rightful place and purpose. It serves as a reminder not to be trapped in the endless cycle of distractions but to embrace the present, recognize one’s purpose, and seize the time given. The recurring themes of time’s passage and the balance of beginnings and endings encourage mindfulness, intentionality, and appreciation for the divine rhythm that governs existence.
The Lyrics
For everything, there’s a season,
For every season a time,
A time for beginnings, a time to let GO.
A moment to plant, a moment to reap,
A time for laughter, a time to weep.
Don’t let the days fool your
Purpose, (Purpose)
Living in a wheel, where everything steals
your time
A time to love, a time to heal,
A time for war, a time to feel.
Joy and pain, cycles repeat,
A time for endings, a time to meet.
A time to gather, a time to throw,
To tear apart and to sew.
A time for silence, a time to speak,
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Yeah (Ah) ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah-ah)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah-ah)
Don’t let the days fool your
Purpose, (Purpose)
Living in a wheel, where everything steals
your time
A time to love, a time to heal,
A time for war, a time to feel.
Joy and pain, cycles repeat,
A time for endings, a time to meet.
A time to gather, a time to throw,
To tear apart and to sew.
A time for silence, a time to speak,
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Yeah (Ah) ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah-ah)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ah-ah)
Don’t let the days fool your
Purpose, (Purpose)
Living in a wheel, where everything steals
your time
A time to love, a time to heal,
A time for war, a time to feel.
Joy and pain, cycles repeat,
A time for endings, a time to meet.
Seasons turn, the rivers flow,
What we release, what we bestow.
Under heaven, the moments align,
The beauty of time, forever divine.
Seize Your Time
