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 cannon balls 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 exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years
can some people exist
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 '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
The answer
is blowin' in the wind
