How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes n'how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes n'how many years can a mountain exist
Before its washed to the sea?
Yes n'how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes n'how many times can a man turn his head
Pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind

Yes n'how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes n'how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
Yes n'how many deaths will it take till he know
That too many people have died

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
