This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth

Well, what a fruit it bears

What good is love

Mmm, that no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

Heaven 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'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

Ooh, may not, oh, be so bitter after all
