Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I lay awake at night
And ponder a world of trouble
My answer is always the same
That unless man put an end to all of this
Hate will put the world in a flame
Oh, what a shame
[Verse 4]
Just because I'm in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Just send me someone to love
[Verse 5]
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
