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?

How many times must a 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 times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and 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.


How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free.

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...
