Before he can hear people cry?
How many seas must a white dove sail
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, an' how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
Yes, an' how many years can a mountain exist
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Before he can see the sky?
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
Yes, an' how many ears must one man have
Yes, an' how many times must a man look up
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, an' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, an' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, an' how many years can some people exist
