Artist: Bob Dylan

Song: Blowing In the Wind


How many roads must a man walk down,
before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove¹ sail,
before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannon² ball fly,
before they're 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?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn't see?


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?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry ?
And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?


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


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