BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

How many roads must a man walk down 
 before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail 
 before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n', how many times must the cannon balls fly 
 before they're forever banned?
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 see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have 
 before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows 
 that too many people have died?
Oh, the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist 
 before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist 
 before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' 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.
