Blowing in The Wind

The poem asks a series of rhetorical questions about the number of times or years something must occur before a greater realization or change takes place, such as how many roads a man must walk before being called a man or how many years a mountain must exist before being washed to the sea. Each stanza ends by stating that the answer to these questions is "blowing in the wind," implying the answers are unknown or uncertain and will reveal themselves when the time is right.

Blowin in the Wind

Bob Dylan

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

How many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they are forever banned

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind...

The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist

Before it is washed to the sea

How many years can some people exist

Before theyre allowed to be free

How many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesnt see

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind...

The answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky

How many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry

How many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind...

The answer is blowing in the wind.

...The answer is blowing in the wind...
