Bob Dylan Blowin' In The Wind Lyrics

How many roads most a man walk down

Before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, 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.

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, 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.

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, 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.

Sharing

Thank you people for keeping in touch with my blog while I have not been present to this space. Life is a roller coaster and I am riding it - YAY! YIKES! YAY! 

Sadly I did not take up the opportunity to fast and cleanse with the muslim community during Ramadaan, honestly, mainly due to laziness. I did enjoy the celebration of Eid Ul Fitr with my muslim family and the Samsodien family. It was wonderful to share in this celebration with loving and supportive families. I enjoyed conversation with someone who spoke about how giving was a very natural action in his extended family and that anyone would give anything to anyone else. Rarely is there differentiation between in-laws and other, everyone is treated as first family and I can give to my children in the same way I can give to yours. The emphasis lies in - if I have what you need let me share it with you. It is a shame that we have lost this spirit of giving and sharing in many families and then of course it becomes more absent in communities. The result is a survival and desperation mode which is all about the idea of 'each man for himself'. 

We must realise our own value to realise that our family, neighbours and everyone else is just as valuable and equally deserving. We need to WAKE UP and start to give!
