BLOWIN' IN THE WIND

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 the canon balls 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 must a mountain exist 
     before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist 
     before they're 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.
   
How many times must a man look up 
     before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have 
     before he can hear people cry?
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.
   
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
