How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove fly
Before she sleeps in the sand?

How many times must a cannon ball fly
Before they're forever banned?

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 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 blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can sees the sky?

How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?

How many deaths will it take till we know
That too many people have died?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
