 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?
 How  many times  must the cannonballs  fly
 Before  they're forever  banned?
 
 The answer my friends is blowing in the wind
 The  answer is blowing  in the wind
 Repeat this pattern for the next two verses:
 How many years can a mountain exist
 Before it's washed to the sea?
 How many years must some people exist
 Before they're allowed to be free?
 And how many times can a man turn his head
 And pretend that he just doesn't see? (the answer)
 
 The answer my friends is blowing in the wind
 The  answer is blowing  in the wind
 How many time can a man look up
 Before he sees the sky?
 How many ears must one man have
 Before he can hear people cry?
 And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
 That too many people have died?
 
 The answer my friends is blowing in the wind
 The  answer is blowing  in the wind
 
 Oh the answer my friends is blowing in the wind
 The  answer is blowing  in the wind.............
 Thanks! ALICIA
