Verse 1

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they've forever banned?

Chorus
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

Verse 2
How many times must a man look up
Before ha can see the sky?
How many tears must he have shed
Before he can hear the people cry?
How many wars will it take till he learns
that too many people have died.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?

(Repeat Chorus)
