How many roads must a man walk down before they call him 
a man
How many seas must a white dove sail before she leeps in 
the sand
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
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 my friend is blowin' in the wind the answer is 
blowin' in the wind
