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 must the cannon balls fly,
Before they’re forever banned.
- Chorus -
The answer my friend,
Is blowing in the wind,
The answer is blowing in the wind.
How many years must a mountain exist,
Before it is washed to the sea,
How many years must some people exist,
Before they’re allowed to be free,
How many times must a man turn his head,
And pretend he just doesn’t see.
- Chorus -
How many times must 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 d**hs must there be ‘till he knows,
That too many people have died.
- Chorus -
