How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
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 sees the sky
and how many ears 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
and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's 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 blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
