How many roads must a man walk down?
Before they call him a man
And how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand

And how many times must the cannonballs be fly
Before they’re forever banned
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
Yes, how many ears must one man have?
Before he can hear people cry
And 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 years can a mountain exist
Before it’s washed to the sea
Tell me how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free

Yes and how many times can a man turn his head?
Pretending that he just, that he just doesn’t see
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
