Bloodyday Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 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. protests like Dylan's voice: i have nothing to say but sing rhyme his song and going forth to change the world!
