Blowin' in the Wind Songtext
von Joan Baez

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?

The answer, my friends, is blowin′ in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind


How many years must a mountain exist
Before it′s washed to the sea?
How many years must some people exist
Before they're allowed to be freed?
And how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friends, is blowin′ in the wind
The answer is blowin′ in the wind

How many times must a man look up
Before he can really see the sky?
How many ears must one person have
Before he can hear people cry?
And how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin′ in the wind

The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin′ in the wind
Thank you
