How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must those cannonballs be fired
Before they're forever banned?

Let me tell you that the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can the mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
How many years can a man, can a man exist
Before he's allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

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

The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Sing it louder
Sing it louder
The answer is blowin'
The answer is in the wind
The answer is blowin'
It's blowin'
It's blowin'
It's blowin'
The answer is blowin'
The answer is blowin' in the wind
