How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man.
How many sees must a white dove save,
before she sleeps in the sand.
Listen 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.
Listen how many years must a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea.
And how many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free.
Listen how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretending he just doesn't see.
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
the answer is blowin' in the wind.
Listen how many times must a man look up,
before he can see the sky.
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry.
Listen 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.
