How many roads must someone walk down

Before you call them human?

Yes, ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, ’n’ how many times must the cannonballs 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 can a mountain exist

Before it’s washed to the sea?

Yes, ’n’ how many years must some people exist

Before they’re allowed to be free?

Yes, ’n’ how many times can one 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

How many times must a person look up

Before they can see the sky?

Yes, ’n’ how many ears must one woman have

Before she can hear people cry?

Yes, ’n’ how many deaths will it take till we know

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind

The answer is blowin’ in the wind
