This Bitter Earth

[Verse 1]
This bitter earth
What fruit it bears, mmm
What good is love
That no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
Can somebody tell me what good am I
Oh Lordy, Heaven only knows

[Verse 2]
Woah, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
For today you are young
Too soon you, you are old
But while a voice inside me cries
I know someone will answer my call
And this old bitter earth, well, well, well, well
Well, it may not be so bitter after all

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Ooh-wee, baby
You got to live, you've got to love
Mm-hmm, ah

[Outro]
But while a voice inside me cries
I know someone, somewhere is gonna answer my call
And this old bitter earth
Well, it may not be so bitter after all
