how many roads must a man walk down

before they call him a man

how many seas must a white dove sail

before she sleeps in the sand

how many times must the cannonballs fly

before they're forever banned

the answer my friend

is blowin in the wind

the answer is blowin in the wind

how many years must a mountain e ist

before it is washed to the sea

how many years can some people e ist

before they're allowed to be free

how many times can a man turn his head

and pretend that he just doesn't see

the answer my friend

is blowin in the wind

the answer is blowin in the wind

how many times must a man look up

before he can see the sky

how many ears must one man have

before he can hear people cry

how many deaths

will it take till he knows

that too many people have died

the answer my friend

is blowin in the wind

the answer is blowin in the wind

the answer is blowin in the wind
