How many roads must a man walk down
Before he's called a man?
And how many seas must the white dove sail
Before he sleeps in the sand?
Yes, how many times must the cannon-balls fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

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

Yes is it, how many times can a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes is it, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes is it, 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 is blowin' in the wind
