Blowin’ in the Wind The Supremes

How many roads
Must a man walk down
Before they call him a man ?
How many seas
Must a white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand ?
And how many times
Must the cannonballs fly
Before they're ever banned ?

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

How many years
Must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea ?
And how many years
Can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
How many times
Can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see ?

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