How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove save
Before she can sleep in the sand?
How many times must a cannon-ball 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 can a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many years 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 my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
