This bitter earth 
Well, what [bad word] it bears 
Ooooh, This bitter earth

And if my life is like the dust 
oooh that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I 
Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth 
Yes, can be so cold 
Today you're young 
Too soon, you're old 
But while a voice within me cries 
I'm sure someone may answer my call 
And this bitter earth 
Ooooh may not 
Oh be so bitter after all 

This bitter earth 
Lord, This bitter earth

What good is love 
Mmmm that no one shares 
And if my life is like the dust 
Oooh that hides the glow of a rose 

What good am I 
Heaven only knows
