Blowin' in the Wind Songtext
von Ray Conniff

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
Yes and 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?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin′ in the wind


How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many tears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes and how many wars will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it′s 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
Pretending he just doesn't see?

The answer my friend is blowin′ in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

The answer my friend is blowin′ in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
