Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace in mind
But 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
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
And my answer is always the same
That unless man puts an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, 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
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
Please send me someone to love
