Verse 1
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 cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned?
—
Chorus
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

Verse 2
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is 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?

Chorus
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
