Before they call him a man
How many s eas must a whit e dog sail
Before she sleeps in the san d
How many times must the cann onball s fly

How many yea rs must a mou ntain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many y ears can s ome p eople exist
Before they 're allowed t o be fre e
How many times can a ma n tur n his head
And pretend that he just d oesn 't se e
The answer my f riend is blowi ng in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many tim es must a man look up
Before he ca n see the sky
How many e ars must o ne ma n have
Before he c an hear peopl e cr y
How many deaths will it take till
He knows tha t too many peo ple have died
The answer my f riend is blowi ng in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
