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?      And how many times must the cannon balls fly   Before they are forever banned?   The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind   The answer is blowin' in the wind      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      The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind   The answer is blowin' in the wind
