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 Show the world how to get along Peace will enter when hate is gone And if it's not 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 man puts an end to this terrible sin Hate will put the world in 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
