How many roads must a man walk down Before he's called a man? Tell me, how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Tell me, how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned? No, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer: blowin' in the wind How many times must a man look up Before he sees the sky? Tell me, how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? What I wanna know is How many deaths will it take till he knows Too many people have died? No, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer: somewhere in the the wind How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed out to the sea? Tell me, how many years can some people exist Before they are allowed to be free? What I wanna know is How many times can a man turn his head Pretending that he just doesn't see? No, the answer, my friend, blowin' in whe wind The answer: blowin' in the wind Blowin' in the wind, blowin' in the wind The answer: somewhere in the wind Oh, that answer is somewhere in the wind!
