Words by Bob Dylan
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, and 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, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
"Blowin' in the Wind" è una famosa canzone di contenuto pacifista scritta nel 1962 dal poeta e compositore statunitense Bob Dylan. La melodia fu ispirata all'autore da "No More Auction Block", uno spiritual che ebbe origine in Canada e veniva cantato da ex-schiavi liberati dopo l'abolizione della schiavitù in Gran Bretagna nel 1833.
