Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I like that
That's for me, man
[Verse 2]
How many roads must a man walk down
Before he's called a man?
Tell me, how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Tell me, how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
No, the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer, blowing in the wind
[Verse 3]
How many times must a man look above
Before he sees the sky?
Tell me, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
What I wanna know is
How many deaths will it take till he knows
Too many people have died?
Oh, the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer, somewhere in the wind
[Verse 4]
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed out to the sea?
Tell me, how many years can some people exist
Before they are allowed to be free?
What I wanna know is
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretending that he just doesn't see
Oh, the answer, my friend, blowing in the wind
The answer, blowing in the wind
[Verse 5]
Blowing in the wind, blowing in the wind
The answer, somewhere in the wind
Oh, that answer is somewhere in the wind
[Verse 6]
Ho, and I gotta go
I don't wanna but I gotta go
