How many times must a man be afraid
of the sound of a knock on his door
Yes 'n' how many times must he live in fear
of those who uphold the law
Yes 'n' how many times must the public pay
to take themselves to the courts
Yes 'n' how many times must a mother watch
her innocent children caught?
The answer my friends, is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many families will be split apart
when a father is sent to jail
Yes 'n' how many times lives must be lost to bad drugs
because of a law that fails
Yes 'n' how much pain must be felt by a man
that could be eased by a plant
Yes 'n' how suffering will not be cured
because of the drugs that can't
The answer my friends, is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many years must be passed while we wait
to be free to smoke the good herb
Yes 'n' how many times must we see the judge
before we get the rights we deserve
Yes 'n' how many drugs must a doctor sell
before we can grow our own ease
Yes 'n' how many drugs must a patient take
when cannabis can cure the disease
The answer my friends, is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many fines must the people pay
before they're allowed to get high
Yes 'n' how many times will a Government hide
before they will legalise
Yes 'n' how many lives will be spoilt by a law
when the law is meant to protect
Yes 'n' how many cells will the prisoners fill
for the good of a law that's suspect
The answer my friends, is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
