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 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.

The answer is blowin' in the wind.
