This bitter, bitter earthWhat fruit it bearsWhat good is loveThat no one, wants to sharesAnd if my life, my life is like the dustThat hides the glow of a roseTell me what good am IHeaven, heaven, heaven, heaven only knowsOoooh, this, this bitter earthOh I found out It can be.. Be so... Be so coldToday you're youngAnd before you know It too soon, you've grown oldBut while a voice within me criesSomeone, someone may answer my callAnd then this bitter earthThis bitter, bitter earthMay not, may not be so bitterWhile a voice, while this voice within me criesSomeone, someone may answer my callAnd this, this bitter earthThis real callerMmmmm, may not be so bitter after allMmmmmmm...
