[Verse 1]How many roads must a man walk downBefore they call him a man?How many seas must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand?How many times must the cannonballs flyBefore they're forever banned?[Refrain]The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind[Verse 2]How many years must a mountain existBefore it is washed to the sea?How many years can some people existBefore they're allowed to be free?How many times can a man turn his headAnd pretend that he just doesn't see?[Refrain]The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind[Verse 3]How many times must a man look upBefore he can see the sky?How many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry?How many deaths will it take 'til he knowsThat too many people have died?[Refrain]The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind
