[Intro]
Needless to say there's a great history to this festival of the Bob Dylan dilemma many years ago
And I just gotta tell you a quick story that the reason I'm going to play this song here is because about twenty years ago somebody called me and said, "Hey, do you know that Bob Dylan did Pirate Looks at Forty last night in Hawaii?" And I went, that's about as complimentary as you can get
So, I know that Bob caused a ruckus playing here electric about forty-five or fifty years ago, so I'm going to return the favor and play acoustic and do one of his
So, I just figure that's a full circle thing to do and I've been thinking about this for a long time
[Verse 1]
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
And how many seas must the white dove sail
Before she can sleep in the sand?
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?
[Refrain]
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
[Verse 2]
Now how many years can the 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 that man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
[Refrain]
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
[Verse 3]
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how times can a man turn his ear
Before he can hear people cry?
And how many deaths does it take till we learn
That too many people have died?
[Refrain]
The answer, my friend, still blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yea, the answer, my friends, still blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
[Outro]
Thank you, Bob
Thank you, Faith
Thank you, everybody
God bless
Thank you
Have a great week
Love you!
