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
