before we harness the tides How many acres of land must we ruin before we turn from our pride How many people forced from their homes will get us to see through the lies The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How much oil must wash on our shores before we turn to the sun How many times must we poison the fish before this folly is done How many times will we trust in the man who takes until all is gone The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind How many people will suffer and die when no crop will grow from our seeds How many ways will we hurt mother earth before we weep for our deeds How many times will we turn from the wind before we turn from our greed The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind -- yaya |
