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 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 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
