The answer is blowing in the wind How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? And how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind How many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? And how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? And how many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind The answer my friend is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind

 Said the condor To the praying mantis We're gonna lose this place Just like we lost Atlantis Brother we got to go Sooner than you know The gypsy told my fortune She said that nothin' showed Who put the bomb On the sacred altar? Why should we die If it comes our way? And why should we care About a little button Being pushed by someone We don't even know?

Like an Inca from Peru (Like an Inca) If you want to get high Build a strong foundation Sink those pylons deep And reach for the sky If you want to get lost In the jungle rhythm Get down on the ground And pretend you're swimming If you want to put ice In the lava river First you must climb Then you must stand and shiver Brother, we gotta go Sooner than you know The gypsy told my fortune The gypsy told my fortune The gypsy told my fortune She said that nothing showed Well I wish I was an Aztec Or a runner in Peru I would build such beautiful buildings To house the chosen few Like an Inca from Peru (Like an Inca) I feel sad, but I feel happy As I'm coming back to home There's a bridge across the river That I have to cross alone Like a skipping rolling stone (Like an Inca)

Throw your hatred down Meanwhile in the underworld the weaknesses are seen By peasants and by presidents who plan the counter-scheme Children in the schoolyard finish choosing teams Divided by their dreams while a TV screams Throw your weapons down Throw your weapons down The wheel of fortune keeps on rolling down The street that's paved with sinful plans There but for circumstance may go you or I Dressed in golden lame find a place to stay Throw your hatred down Throw your hatred down Throw your weapons down Throw your weapons down
