How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? ::: 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 ::: Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? ::: And 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 And pretend that he just doesn't see? ::: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind ::: Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? ::: And how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? ::: Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows That too many people have died? ::: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind
