How many roads must a woman walk down
Before they call her equivalent
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs 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 they're allowed to be free
How many times can a woman turn her head
And pretend that she just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a woman look up
Before she can see the sky
How many years must one woman have
Before she can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till she knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Before they call her equivalent
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
