How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
And how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and 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 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?
Yes and 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
How many years can a mountain e ist
Before it's 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
Pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
