How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Before it's washed to the sea?
Before they're allowed to be free?
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
