before you can call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleep in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing 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
And how many deaths will it take till he knows
Too many people are dyin'
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they are allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind...
