I'm Scared Songtext
von Burton Cummings

Said I′m scared, Lord I'm scared, I′m terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear the call

I'm scared, Lordy Lord, I'm shakin′, I′m petrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees

I heard the singin'
Something about good will toward men
And even
Sleepin′ in heavenly peace

Stopped by to see Saint Thomas
On a cold and dreary New York afternoon
Something in the air was oh, so rare
I don't know what it was
But I know that it′s still right there

I'm scared, Lordy Lord I′m shakin', I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees


Livin′ in confusion
Searching for truth that I never found
I needed, something to really believe
Looked toward the heavens
On a dark and stormy winter afternoon
Somethin′ in the air was oh, so rare
I'm not really sure what it was
But I know for sure that it′s still right there

I'm scared, he-e-e-ey I′m terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees

I'm scared, you know I′m shakin'
I'm layin′ awake thinkin′ about it now
I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough would like to hear the call

Come on now, give me a sign you′re listening to me
You hear me talking, you hear me crying
And it's confusing to me Lord, I′m terrified

Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees
