How many Chernobyls must happen again
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
