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 all the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
And if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

I lay awake nights and ponder world troubles
And the answer is always the same
That unless men puts an end to all of this sin
Then the world's gonna end up in flames
Oh what a shame

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

I lay awake nights and I ponder a world full of troubles
You know the answer is always the same
That unless man puts an end to all of his sins
You know the world's gonna end up in flames
Oh what a shame

Just because I'm in misery
I'm not asking for no sympathy
And if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love (to love)
To love (to love)
To love (to love)
