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 on the sand?

Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're foreve banned?

The answer, my friends, 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 fly?

Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it takes 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

How many years can mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea?

Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exit

Before they're allowed to be free?

Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head

Pretending he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind,

The answer is blowin' in the wind
