Lyrics:
How many roads must a man walk downBefore you call him a man?How many seas must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand?Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs flyBefore they’re forever banned?The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the windThe answer is blowin’ in the windYes, and how many years must a mountain existBefore it is washed to the sea?And how many years can some people existBefore they’re allowed to be free?Yes, and how many times can a man turn his headAnd pretend that he just doesn’t see?The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the windThe answer is blowin’ in the windYes, and how many times must a man look upBefore he can see the sky?And how many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear people cry?Yes, and how many deaths will it take ’til he knowsThat too many people have died?The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the windThe answer is blowin’ in the wind
