How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, ´n´ how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, ´n´ 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 times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ´n´ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ´n´ 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.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it´s washed to the sea?
Yes, ´n´ how many years can some people exist
Before they´re allowed to be free?
Yes, ´n´ how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn´t see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin´ in the wind,
The answer is blowin´ in the wind.
