How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How
many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many
times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer
my friend
Is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they;re allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see
The answer my friend
Is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in
the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many
ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths
will it till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer my
friend
Is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
Sometimes in our lives
we all have pain
we all have sorrow
If, if
we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow
Lean on me
When you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help
you carry on
For it won't be long
till I'm gonna need
somebody to
lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things
you need to borrow
for, no one can fill
those of your needs
that you won't let show
Lean on me...
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody
to lean on
I just might have a problem
that you'd understand
We all
need somebody to lean on
Have you seen the old man
in the closed down market
Kicking up papers
with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
hands held loosely
by his side
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news
So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say to me that the sun don't
shine
Let me take you by the hand
and lead you through the streets of
London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind.
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in
her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking,
She just
keeps right on walking,
Carrying her home in two carrier bags
So how can you tell me you're lonely...
In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The same old man sitting
there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each
tea lasts an hour, then he wanders home alone
So how can you tell me you're lonely...
Have you seen the old man
outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading
with the minor ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain cries
little pity
For one more forgotten hero
and a world which doesn't
care
So how can you tell me you're lonely...
When the night has come
and the land is dark
And the moon is the only
light I see,
No, I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long
as you stand
Stand by me.
So darling, darling,
Stand by me
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand, stand
by me,
stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
should crumble and fall
or the mountain
should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me
