How many roads must a man walk down 
Before you call him a man ?	
How many seas must a white dove sail 
Before she sleeps in the sand ? 
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned ? 
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind	
The answer is blowin' in the wind. 

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
