How many times can a man turn his head and pretend he just doesn't see?
There's beauty in the silver singing river, There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky, But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty, That I remember in my true love's eyes

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind
Your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand, For the times they are a-changin'.
All the people we used to know, they're an illusion to me now.
I accept chaos. I am not sure whether it accepts me. I know some people are terrified of the bomb. But then some people are terrified to be seen carrying a modern screen magazine. Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.
How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free...
