this bitter earth

Aretha Franklin

This bitter, bitter earth
What fruit it bears
What good is love
That no one, wants to shares
And if my life, my life is like the dust
That hides the glow of a rose
Tell me what good am I
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven only knows...

Ooooh, this, this bitter earth
Oh I found out It can be
Be so...Be so cold
Today you're young
And before you know It too soon,
You've grown old
But while a voice within me cries
Someone, someone may answer my call...

And then this bitter earth
This bitter, bitter earth
May not, may not be so bitter...

While a voice,
While this voice within me cries
Someone, someone may answer my call
And this, this bitter earth
This real caller
Mmmmm, may not be so bitter after all
Mmmmmmm...
