    The poem poses a series of rhetorical questions about freedom, war, and social justice, asking how long injustice can exist before change occurs. It suggests the answers to these questions are unclear but symbolically "blowin' in the wind," implying the answers depend on how long it takes society to recognize the need for change.

    "Blowin' In The Wind"

    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 cannon balls 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 can a mountain exist


    Before it's washed to the sea?
    Yes, 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?
    Yes, 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.
