Bob 是个美籍犹太人,其心路历程颇为曲折. 犹太教信仰是他的起点,经历过无神信仰,基督信仰,据说目前又再回归于犹太教信仰 (手头没有这方面的资料也无法在网上找到印证).
全歌三段九个问题，答案只有一个．可惜，除非我们能理解风，这答案（The answer is blowin' in the wind.）并不实在．换言之，不存在我们可以凭理性理解的答案；于是所有的问题都在无限中消逝．人类社会的问题(象战争和种族仇视),本来应该是有人能知道答案的，而且知道这些答案的他／她就有可能可以终结这些 SIN．只是作者和他的听众读者都只能从历史而不是从现实中了解这些问题的答案.
歌的每段各有一亮点.不同的听众可以听出不同的弦外之音.第一段的亮点是
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
从<创世记>我们知道 dove 是和平的象征,并且大水不退 dove 就无法停脚;因而这个问句说的是 "人类间的战争还要持续多少年代",并且从作者的角度看,如果/由于人类仍在建造众多的 SINS (具体在这里是野蛮的战争),和平是不可及的.

第二段的亮点是
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
这个问句的另一提法可以是 "How long would God tolerate man's (intentional) blindness before He destroys him?". Mountain 经常被用作以色列的象征.由于以色列人的拒绝基督,它将被象征性地冲刷到海里. 作者向听众叙说神由于人的 SINS 将毁灭祂的居所.
第三段的亮点是... (请来串门的基督徒朋友作点评)
由于这首歌可以这样用宗教眼光来理解,可以说它的说教内涵与其艺术内涵同样丰富.
"Blowin‘ In The Wind"
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' 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.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?

That too many people have died?
