How many roads must a man walk down

Before you 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
