Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Show the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
I lie awake night and ponder world troubles
My answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
