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

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

 I lay awake night and ponder world troubles.

My answer is always just the same.

That unless men put an end to all of this

Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame.

Just because I'm in misery.

 I'm not begging for no sympathy.

but if it's not asking too much,

Please send me someone to love

Solo

Heaven please send to all mankind

 Understanding and peace of mind

If it's not asking too much

Please send me someone to love
