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
