How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, 'n' 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. How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. Why does the lyrics reflect transcendentalism ? The song reflects the idea of transcendentalism in the song because it includes the idea of nature and free-thought. The lyrics reflects upon the problems and worries that happens in the reality by reflecting it through the nature. Such lines like "How many years can a mountain exist before it's washed to the sea" reflects the idea of people not being able to voice their opinions and being controlled by stronger forces. The physical facts of the nature in the lyrics reflects the way to the ideal world or rules. Also, free- thought is used in this lyrics in such lines like "The answer is blowin' in the wind." Instead of telling the logical and direct answer or solution, it refers to a spontaneous and open thoughts. The overall lyrics is not logical, but gives the spontaneous free- thoughts throughout the lines.
