Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind Yes, 'n' how many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind Yes, 'n' how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky?

Yes, 'n' how many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea?

How long must there be slavery and denial of civil rights? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, And pretend that he just doesn't see? This sentence is about everyone who was against racisme but did not do anything about it.

I am still unsure about the final verse. General Comment Yeah, you guys are right It's like, they think we can't change it, so they try not to notice.

For example, about the 'too many people have died' It's kind of Bob's way of sayin' that yes, love is all that can change everything.

And I agree with him :. BlackBasilSupply on May 15, Link. General Comment Beautiful song. Everytime I hear it, it's like the first time.
