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.

But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
I lay awake at night and ponder a world of troubles.

And my answer is always just the same.
That unless men put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame.

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