    The song poses a series of philosophical questions about when certain events or states can be considered complete or achieved. Each verse asks "how many" of something must occur before a larger truth is realized, such as how many roads a man must walk or seas a dove must sail. The answer to these questions, according to the song, is that the answers are unknown and ambiguous, "blowin' in the wind."

    BLOWIN IN THE WIND

    4/4 121234

    How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?

    How many seas must a white dove sail be-fore she sleeps in the sand?

    How many times must the cannonballs fly before theyre for-ever 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?

    How many ears must one man have be-fore he can hear people cry?

    How many deaths will it take til 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 is washed to the sea?

    How many years can some people ex-ist be-fore theyre al-lowed to be free?

    How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesnt see?

    The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind, the answer is blowin in the wind. (X2)
