Discover the story of the song > Blowin’ in the Wind – The Seekers

The protagonist asks a lot of questions about how much someone has to do before they achieve something or before something happens. Each time they ask, the answer is "blowin' in the wind", meaning it's unknown or uncertain. They ask about things like being called a man, being allowed to be free, and understanding when too many people have died. The song is about questioning the status quo and standing up for what's right.
