How many roads must a man walk down   Before you can call him a man   Yes 'n how many seas must a white dove sail   Before she sleeps in the sand   Yes 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      Yes and how many years can a mountain exist   Before it is washed to the sea   Yes and how many years can some people exist   Before they're allowed to be free   Yes and how many times can a man turn his head   And pretend that he just doesn't see   The answer my friend is blowing in the wind   The answer is blowing in the wind      Yes and how many times must a man look up   Before he can see the sky   Yes and how many ears must one man have   Before he can hear people cry   Yes and 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
