How many roads must a man walk down 
 Before you call him a man? 
 How many seas must the 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 blowin' in the wind 
 The answer is blowin' 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 blowin' in the wind 
 The answer is blowin' 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 blowin' in the wind 
 The answer is blowin' in the wind
