This Bitter Earth (feat. Ellis Marsalis)

This bitter earth,

What fruit it bares,

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 knowsThis bitter earth, it can be so cold

Today your young, too soon your old

But while the voice within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

This bitter earth, may not not so bitter after allThis bitter earth, can be so cold

Today your young, too soon, too soon your old

But while the voice within me cries

I'm sure someone will answer my call

And this bitter earth, may not be so bitter after all
