How many ways can a boy learn

before he attains manhood?

How many seas does the bird have to cross

before moving away from the cold?

How many deaths can a cannon cause

before we forget its sound?

Listen my friend

Listen in the wind

Listen to the answer in the wind

How many times do we have to look up

before we can see the Sun?

How many ears do the unfortunate need

before listening to others who are like them?

How many tears does it take for the happy man

before his heart wakes up?

Listen my friend

listen in the wind

listen to the answer in the wind

How many years will it take for the slave

before he can get his freedom?

How long is a soldier brave

before dying in oblivision?

How many seas will the dove cross

before we live in peace?

Well,my friend

Listen in the wind

Listen to the answer in the wind

Listen, the answer is in the wind.
