This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
ย
Ooh, this bitter earth
ย
And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose
ย
What good am I?
Heaven only knows
ย
Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
ย
Today you're young
Too soon, you're old
ย
But while a voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
ย
And this bitter earth
Ooh, may not
Oh, be so bitter after all
ย
This bitter earth
ย
Lord, this bitter earth
ย
What good is love
Mm, that no one shares?
And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose
ย
What good am I? (What good am I?)
Heaven only knows
