Blowin' in the Wind

Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before he can see the sky?

How many ears must one man have
How many deaths will it take 'til he knows
Too many people have died?
Before it's washed to the sea?
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
How many years can some people exist
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
How many times can a man turn his head
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many seas must a white dove sail
How many times must a man look up
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
Before he can hear people cry?
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Before they're forever banned?
How many years can a mountain exist
And pretending he just doesn't see?
Before they're allowed to be free?
The answer is blowin' in the wind
