This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
This bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young
But too soon, you're old
But while the voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooh, may not be so bitter after all
This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
This bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young
But too soon, you're getting old
And while the voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Oh, may not be so bitter after all
Bitter after all
Bitter after all
