This Bitter Earth Lyrics

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
