How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times can a cannon ball fly
Before they're forever banned?
[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
How many times can 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 d**hs will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
[Chorus]
