How many roads
Must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
Yes and how many seas
Must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
Yes and how many times
Must cannonballs 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
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 and 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
Yes, how many times
Can a man look up
Before he can really see the sky
and how many ears
Must one person 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
