[Verse 1]
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand?
How many times must a cannonball fly
Before they're forever banned?

[Refrain]
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

[Verse 2]
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many times can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

[Refrain]
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
