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 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
Yes, 'n' how many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea How many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free
Yes, 'n' how many times must 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, 'n' 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, 'n' 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
