Nena - Blowin’ in the Wind songtext (lyrics)

Blowin' in the wind
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must
A white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
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

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will
It take till 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's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years
Can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' 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
