How many roads must a man walk down
before they call him a man
how many sea must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand
how many times must those cannon balls be fired
before they're forever banned
oh yeah let me tell you that
the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
the answere is blowing in the wind
(well how many years) how many years can a mountain exist
(yeah before) before it is washed to the sea
(how many years) how many years can a man exist
(ah before) before he's allowed to be free
(too many years have gone by already now)
how many times can a man turn his head
(he turned his head and pretended)
he turns his head and pretends he just doesn't see
ooh yeah you know the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind
let me tell you it's blowing (blowing) blowing (blowing) it's blowing
the answer is blowing in the wind and it's blowing
the answer is blowing in the wind
