How many roads must a man walk down, before they 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 are forever banned

* The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

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
How many times can a man turn his head, and pretend that he just doesn't see

[Repeat *]

How many times must a man look up, before he can see the sky

How many years 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

[Repeat *]
