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
