[Stevie Wonder + (Clarence Paul)]
How many roads must a man walk down 'fore they call him a man?
And how many seas must a white dove sail 'fore she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must those cannonballs fly before they're forever banned?
Oh yeah, let me tell you that the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer's blowing in the wind, oh yeah

(Well, how many years?) How many years must a mountain exist
(Yeah before) Before it's washed to the sea? Yeah
(And I wanna know how many years...) Now, how many years can a man exist
(Ah, before) Before he's allowed to be free? Yeah
(Too many years have gone by already now, Stevie)
Now how many times can a man turn his head
(He turn his head and pretend) And he pretends that he just doesn't see? Whoa, yeah
You know the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind, uh-huh

And let me tell you it's blowin' (Blowin')
Blowin' (Blowin')
It's blowin' (Yes it is now)
Whoa, the answer is blowin' in the wind
And it's blowin', yeah yeah yeah yeah
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
