This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth, what fruit it bears

What good is love that no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

That hides the glow of a rose

What good am I heaven only knows

This bitter earth, it can be so cold

Today you're young, too soon you're old

But while the voice within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

This bitter earth

May not be so bitter after all

This bitter earth can be so cold

Today you're young, too soon

Too soon you're old

But while the voice within me cries

I'm sure someone will answer my call

And this bitter earth

May not be so bitter after all
