Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
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
If it’s not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles
My answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to all of this
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame

Just because I’m in misery
I don’t beg for no sympathy
If it’s not asking too much
Just send me someone to love

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it’s not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
