Blowin' in the wind

Beffiting it is to end the year on a sober note, of the world I find myself fortunate to live in, asides from all the negativity surrounding us, and who best to write so effectively except Bob...no no not the Marley but the Dylan in his 1963 release of 'Blowing in the wind', a select few refer to his music as prophetic and he owes that to lyrics like the below that continue to stand the test of time, the song has been given a fresh lease of life by the inimitable Katie Melua ( 9 million bicycles) who features very highly on my best artists at the moment, enjoy or should I say commiserate? and do get the track if you can or contact me if you cant....

Blowing in the wind:

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' 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.

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.

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.
