[Verse 1]
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
And how many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

[Chorus]
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

[Verse 2]
How many years must a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Oh, how many years must 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?

[Chorus]
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

[Verse 3]
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Oh, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
[Chorus]
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

[Outro]
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
