"This Bitter Earth" lyrics

This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one wants to share
And if my life is like the dust
That haunts the glows of the rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows
This bitter earth

It can be, be so, be so cold
Today, you're young
And before you know it
Too soon you've grown old

But while a voice within me cries
Someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
May not, may not be so bitter after all

While this voice within me cries
Someone, someone may answer my call
And this, this bitter earth
May not be so bitter, bitter after all
