This Bitter Earth

This Bitter Earth - Aretha Franklin

This bitter earth

Well what fruit it bears

What good is love

Mmmm that no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

Oooh that hides the glow of a rose

Tell me What good am I

Heaven only knows

Lord this bitter

What can be so cold

Today you're young

And before you know

Too soon you're old

But while a voice within me cries

Someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

This bitter bitter earth

May now Oh be so bitter after all
