Heaven please send to all mankind Understanding and peace of mind And if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Someone to love Show the world how to get along Peace will enter when hate is gone So if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Nights, I lay awake and I ponder a world of only trouble And my answer is always the same That unless men put an end to this damnable sin Hate will put the world in a flame, and 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 If it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love
