How many roads must a man walk down,
before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail,
before she sleeps 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 years must a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Instrumental

How many times must a man look up,
before he can see the sky

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

The answer, my friend, the Answer is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind...
