Blowin' in the Wind

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

The answer is blowin' in the wind
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Before he can see the sky?
How many deaths will it take 'til he knows

How many times can a man turn his head
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
How many times must the cannon balls fly
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Before he can hear people cry?
Before they're forever banned?
Before it's washed to the sea?
How many times must a man look up

How many ears must one man have

Too many people have died?

Before they're allowed to be free?
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
And pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
How many seas must a white dove sail
How many years can some people exist
