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, 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, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
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.

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
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
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Additional quotes by Bob Dylan

"In another life, I could have been you," she'd say.
"Yeah, but then I wouldn't have been the same person in that life."
"Yeah, that's right. Let's work on it."

არის ერთი უბრალო რამ, რომელიც ხალხის უმეტესობას ვერ გაუგია: გრძელ თმაში უფრო თბილად ხარ, ვიდრე მოკლე თმით როცა დადიხარ. მოკლეთმიანები ბევრად სწრაფად იყინებიან. ისინი იძულებულები არიან ჟრჟოლა და კანკალი დამალონ და გამუდმებით შურთ მათი, ვინც სითბოშია. მერე კი ასეთი ადამიანები პარიკმახერები ან კონგრესმენები ხდებიან, ციხის ზედამხედველთა უმეტესობასაც მოკლე თმა აქვს. და, საერთოდ, ოდესმე აღგინიშნავთ, რომ აბრაამ ლინკოლნს გაცილებით გრძელი თმა აქვს, ვიდრე ჯონ უოლკს ბუტს (თეატრის მსახობი, ლინკოლნის მკვლელი)
