This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth Well, what fruit it bears? What good is love, love? 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 Ooh, this bitter earth Well, can be so cold On this day you're young Too soon you're old But while a voice within me cries Someone may answer my call And this bitter earth, ooh May not be so bitter after all This bitter earth Can be so cold Today you're young, young Too soon, too old I said, this bitter earth Can be so cold Today you're young, so young Before you know it, you're growing old While a voice within me cries Someone may answer my call And this bitter earth, ooh May not be so bitter, so bitter after all This bitter earth
