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
Writer(s): Percy Mayfield
