How many road must a man walk down
Bef ore you c all him a man
How many s eas must a white dove sail
Bef ore she sl eeps in the s and
How many t imes must the cannonballs fly
Bef ore they're f orever b anned
[Refrain :]
The answer my fri end, is bl owin'in the w ind
The a nswer is blowin'in the wi nd.
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 ?
[Refrain]
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 ?
[Refrain]
