Come mothers and fathers throughout the land And don't criticize what you don't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command Your old road is rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand For the times they are a-changin'.
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night And the diamonds from the deepest ocean, I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss For that's all I'm wishing to be owning.
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.
Soft through the dark The hoot of an owl in the sky Sad though his song No bluer was he than I. The moon went down stars were gone But the sun didn't rise with the dawn. There wasn't a thing left to say The night we called it a day.
Damn you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks.
I'm not the one you want, babe, I'm not the one you need. You say you're lookin' for someone, Who's never weak but always strong To protect you an' defend you Whether you are right or wrong Someone to open each and every door, But it ain't me, babe. No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
