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

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

[Verse 2]
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
And how many years can the people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Won't somebody tell me?
How many times can a man turn his head
Standing there pretending that he just doesn't see?

[Refrain]
Well, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
Yes, the answer is blowin' in the wind

[Verse 3]
How many times must a man look up, my friend
Well, before he can see the sky?
[Refrain]
Ah, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
Yes, the answer is blowin' in the wind

[Outro]
You know, the answer is blowin' in the wind
