How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man

Yes and how many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand

How many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea

How many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free

Yes and how many times can a man turn his head

Pretending he just doesn't see

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky

Yes and how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry

Yes and how many deaths will it take

'Till he knows that too many people have died

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind
