This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth
What a fruit it bears
What good is love
Mmm, that no one shares?

And if my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
What good am I?
Heaven, heaven only knows

Oh oh, this bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon, you're old

But while a voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not be so bitter, oh, after all
Ohh

Hmm
A voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth, oh
May not be so bitter, oh, after all
Ohh
And this bitter earth may not be
May not be so bitter
Oh oh oh
May not be so bitter
May not be so bitter, oh oh oh
After, after all
