How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
And how many seas must a white dove sail
Before he sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend
Is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed in the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend
Is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
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?
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
The answer, my friend
Is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
