How many roads must a man walk down 
Before you call him a man and how many seas must a white dove sail 
Before she sleeps in the sand 
Yes and 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 
how many years must a mountain exists 
Before it's hed by the seas 
And how many years can some people exist 
Before they're allowed to be free how many times can a man turn his head 
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 must a man look up 
Before he can see the sky 
And 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
