Lyrics: Clyde Lovern Otis
Music: Max Richter/Clyde Lovern Otis
This bitter earth
Well, what a fruit it bears
This bitter earth
And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, 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 will answer my call
And this bitter earth
may not be so bitter after all
this bitter earth
Lord, this bitter earth
what good is love
that no one shares
and if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I?
Heaven only knows
This bitter earth
This bitter earth
And this bitter earth
may not be so bitter after all
