This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is 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

I wanna tell you
This bitter earth
Can it be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon your old
But while a voice

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