This Bitter Earth

This bitter, bitter earth
 What fruit it bears?
 What good is love
 That no one wants to share?
 And if my life, my life is like the dust
 That haunts the glow of a rose
 Tell me what good am I?
 Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven only knows
 Ooh, this, this bitter earth
 Well, I found out 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, someone may answer my call
 And this bitter earth, this bitter, bitter earth
 May not, may not be so bitter after all
 While a voice, while this voice within me cries
 Someone, someone may answer my call
 And this, this bitter, this real cold earth
 Mmm, may not be so bitter after all, mmm
