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 ?  How many times can a cannon ball fly  Before they're 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 ?  How many years can some people exist  Before they're allowed to be free ?  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.  How many times can a man look up  Before he can see the sky ?  How many ears must one man have  Before he can hear people cry ?  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.
