How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand

[Chorus]
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry

[Chorus]

Well, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free

[Chorus]
