In 1962 singer/songwriter Bob Dylan released the song, Blowin' in the Wind. Through his songs lyrics he asked nine soul searching questions.
1 ] How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?
2] How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
3] Yes, 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.
4] Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
5] Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
6] Yes, 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.
7] Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
8] Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
9] Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
