Before you can call him a man?
And how many seas must a white dove sail,
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannonballs fly,
Before they are forever banned?
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?
And 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.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many year must some people live,
Before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend,
Is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
