How many roads must a man walk
down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove
sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
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 years must a mountain
exist
Before it's 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 pretending 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
How many roads must a man walk
down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove
sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannon
balls fly
Before they're forever banned
