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
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 years can a mountain exist
Before it gets washed to the sea
And how many years
Can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
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
Blowin' in the wind
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
And how many years must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
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
Is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
