How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
Chorus
Well, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
Chorus
Before you can call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
Chorus
Well, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
Chorus
