"Blowing In The Wind"

by Bob Dylan

​

(4 Bars Intro)

How many roads

Must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?

How many seas

Must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, and how many times

Must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend,

Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

​

Yes, and how many years

Can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?

Yes, and how many years

Can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?

Yes, and how many times

Can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend,

Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' 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?

Yes, and how many deaths

Will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend,

Is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
