Ledisi - This Bitter Earth Lyrics

Ledisi Lyrics

"This Bitter Earth"
(originally by Dinah Washington)

This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
Mmh, 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

Oh, this bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon you're old
While a voice
Within me cries
I'm sure someone
May answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not be so bitter at all

This bitter earth
Can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon you're old
While a voice
Within me cries
I'm sure someone
May answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not be bitter after all

Oh, this bitter earth
This bitter earth
This bitter earth
