[Verse 1: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
How many roads must a man walk down 'fore they call him a man?
And how many seas must a white dove sail 'fore she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must those cannonballs fly before they're forever banned?
Oh yeah, let me tell you that

[Refrain: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer's blowing in the wind, oh yeah

[Verse 2: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
(Well, how many years?) How many years must a mountain exist
(Yeah, before) Before it's washed to the sea? Yeah
(And I wanna know how many years) Now, how many years can a man exist
(Ah, before) Before he's allowed to be free? Yeah
(Too many years have gone by already now, Stevie)
Now how many times can a man turn his head
(He turn his head and pretend) And he pretends that he just doesn't see? Whoa, yeah

[Refrain: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
You know the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind, uh-huh

[Outro: Stevie Wonder & Clarence Paul]
And let me tell you it's blowin' (Blowin')
Blowin' (Blowin')
It's blowin' (Yes it is now)
Whoa, the answer is blowin' in the wind
And it's blowin', yeah yeah yeah yeah
The answer is blowin' in the wind
