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
Someone to love

Show all 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
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, what a shame

Just because I'm in misery
I'm not begging for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Just send me someone to love
Just send me someone to love

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
Please send me someone to love
