| How many roads must a man walk down | 
| Before you call him a man? | 
| Yes, 'n' 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. | 
| How many times must a man look up | 
| Before he can see the sky? | 
| Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have | 
| Before he can hear people cry? | 
| Yes, 'n' 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. | 
| How many years can a mountain exist | 
| Before it is washed to the sea | 
| Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist | 
| Before they’re allowed to be free? | 
| Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, | 
| Pretending he just doesn’t see? | 
| The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, | 
| The answer is blowin' in the wind. |
