This bitter earth 
Well, what [bad word] 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 

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 
May not be so bitter after all
