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