Take a close look at the lyrics to bob dylan’s “blowin’ in the wind,” and then answer the question.
how many roads must a man walk down
before you call him a man?
how many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand?
yes, 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.
yes, how many years can a mountain exist
before it’s washed to the sea?
yes, how many years can some people exist
before they’re allowed to be free?
yes, 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
