How  many  roads  must  a  man  walk  down
Before  you  call  him  a  man
Yes  n  how  many  seas  must  a  white  dove  sail
Before  she  sleeps  in  the  sand
Yes  n  how  many  times  must  the  cannon  balls  fly
Before  they're  forever  banned
The  answer  my  friend  is  blowin'in  the  wind
The  answer  is  blowin'in  the  wind
How  many  years  can  a  mountain  exist
Before  its  washed  to  the  sea
Yes  n  how  many  years  can  some  people  exist
Before  theyre  allowed  to  be  free
Yes  n  how  many  times  can  a  man  turn  his  head
Pretending  he  just  doesnt  see
The  answer  my  friend  is  blowin'in  the  wind
The  answer  is  blowin'in  the  wind
How  many  times  must  a  man  look  up
Before  he  can  see  the  sky
Yes  n  how  many  ears  must  one  man  have
Before  he  can  hear  people  cry
Yes  n  how  many  deaths  will  it  take  till  he  knows
That  too  many  people  have  died
The  answer  my  friend  is  blowin'in  the  wind
The  answer  is  blowin'in  the  wind
