How many roads must a man walk down
Before you 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’re forever banned
CHORUS
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 he just doesn’t see
Chorus
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Haw many ears 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
Chorus
