Lyrics: Clyde Otis/Max Richter
Music: Clyde Otis/Max Richter
This bitter earth,
what fruit 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
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 at all.
This bitter earth can be so cold.
Today you're young,
too soon you're old.
While a voice within me cries,
I'm sure someone may answer my call.
And this bitter earth
may not be bitter after all.
Oh, this bitter earth.
This bitter earth.
This bitter earth.
