Paraphrasing "Blowing in the Wind" by Bob Dyllin . Help?

Question

I need a story-line on morals and peace.

Artist: Joan Baez Lyrics
Song: Blowin' in the Wind Lyrics

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is 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
And pretend that 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 years must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take 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

Answer 1

The answer is within us all, to find ones true nature and to be in harmony with the nature around us, to have true empathy and realize all peoples are made from the same cloth, to break through the denial set upon us that we must maintain the status-quo. One person can make a difference

Answer 2

"Blowing in the wind" suggests something that at once exists, yet maintains an intangible quality. Outside of the sails and kites, most things blown by the wind have forgone man's influence and achieved a more natural animation. So the answer in question might not be a thing to be measured, quantified and a course set for. It is instead ethereal and powerful, ever elusive yet always always worth reaching for.
Or maybe the answer is less important than the questions asked. Each of the questions mentioned could have an answer ranging from "never" to "in this case, it is already so." I know that artists often pose questions that they themselves have little, if any answer for. I recently decided that I would be far happier with my art if instead of giving 1 person a belief, I instead caused 2 people to question.
So why should people question their ways, beliefs, and the state of the world around them? We spend so much of our precious time mired in the day to day drudgery of life. We turn away from paths of truth and beauty and instead we revel in the self-indulgent excesses of complacency and a comfortable place to rest our tired feet. It is not in the achieving, but instead in the reaching out for this unattainable state, this answer, that we shake off the bonds of mortality and achieve true grace.
Whew, sorry so drawn out... I guess my paraphrasing would be that striving to make things right is far more important and powerful than the state of being right.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what you want. Are you writing an article, a novel, an essay? And since you know the whole song, you have to ask yourself which lines in the song touch you the most? Base your writing on that.

Answer 4

The answers are all within if one is not afraid to ask the questions and continually challenge their beliefs.

Answer 5

How about "Who Blew The Wind"

Answer 6

would that be ILLEGAL-listing his lyrics.?.
