Lyrics:
How many roads must a man walk down?
Oh they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail?
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times
Must those canon balls be fired?
Before they're forever banned, woah, yeah
Let me tell you that the answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind, woah, woah, yeah
How many years can a mountain exist?
Before it's washed to the sea, yeah
Now, how many years can a man exist?
Before he's allowed to be free
How many times
Can a man turn his head?
And he pretends that he just
Doesn't see, woah, yeah
You know the answer, my friend
Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind, oh huh
And let me tell you it's blowin', blowin'
And it's blowin', woah
The answer is blowin' in the wind
And it's blowin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The answer is blowin' in the wind
