The song "Turn! Turn! Turn!" was written by Pete Seeger and is based on a passage from the Book of Ecclesiastes. The lyrics were published in 1962, which means they are still under copyright protection in many jurisdictions, as copyright typically lasts for the life of the author plus a certain number of years. Therefore, the song is not in the public domain as of now. However, the original text from Ecclesiastes itself is in the public domain.
