Lyrics

Heaven, please, send to all mankind understanding, and peace in mind Then if it's not asking too much, please, send me someone to love Show the world how to get along Peace will enter when the hate is gone And if it's not asking too much, please, send me someone to love I lay awake and count the world's troubles And my answer is always the same That if man don't put an end to this damnable sin, hate will put the world in a flame Just because I'm in misery, I don't beg for no sympathy Then if it's not asking too much, please, send me someone to love I lay awake and count the world's troubles And my answer is always the same That if man don't put an end to this destructible 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 Then if it's not asking too much, please, send me someone to love Please, send me someone to love
