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 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 How many years must a mountain exist

Before it is washed to the sea

How many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free

Yes How many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesn't see

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky

And How many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry

Yes How many deaths will it take

Till he knows that too many people have died

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind
