I'm Scared Songtext
von Burton Cummings

I 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 shaking
I′m petrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees

I heard the choir singing
Something about good will toward men
And even the sleeping in heaven needs
Stopped by to see St. 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 it's still right there


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

Living 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
Something in the air was oh so rare
I'm not really sure what it was but I
Know for sure it′s still right there

And I'm scared
I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees

I′m scared
I′m shaking
I'm laying awake thinking 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
It′s confusing to me
Lord I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees
