This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth

Well, what fruit it bears

What good is love

That no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

Mmm, that hides the glow of a rose

What good am

IHeaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth

Yes, can be so cold

Today you're young

Too soon you're old

But while a voice within me cries

I know heaven will answer my call

And this bitter earth

Ooh, may not be so bitter after all

But while a voice within me cries

I know heaven will answer my call

And this bitter earth

Ooh, it may not be so bitter after all, ooh
