How  many roads  must a man  walk down
 Before you call  him a man?
 Yes, 'n' 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 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, 'n' how  many ears  must one  man have
 Before he can hear  people cry?
 Yes, 'n' 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?
 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,
 Pretending he just  doesn't see?
 The answer,  my friend,  is blowin'  in the wind,
 The answer  is blowin'  in the wind.
