How many roads must a man walk down before he's called a man
Tell me?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand
Tell me?
How many times must the cannon balls fly before they're forever banned?

No, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer
Blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look above before he sees the sky
Tell me?
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
What I wanna know is how many depths will it take ?

'Til he knows too many people have died
Oh, no
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer
Somewhere in the the wind

How many years can a mountain exist before it's washed out to the sea
Tell me?
How many years can people exist before they are allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head?

Pretending that he just doesn't see, oh
The answer my friend
Blowing in the wind
The answer
Blowing in the wind

Blowing in the wind
Blowing in the wind
The answer
Somewhere in the wind
That answer is somewhere in the wind
