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
