Sam Cooke - Blowing in the Wind Lyrics

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 he sleeps in the sand?
Tell me, how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
Ho, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

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 'til he knows
Too many people have died
Oh, the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the the wind

How many times 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, is blowin' in the wind
That answer is blowin' in the wind

Oh, it's blowin' in the wind
It's somewhere in the wind
That answer is blowin' in the wind
Oh that answer is blowin' in the wind
