I'm Scared

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 choir singing

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

Somethin' in the air was oh-so-rare

I don't know what it was but I know

That it's still right there

And 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, hey, 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

It's confusing to me, Lord, I'm terrified

Never been much on religion

But I sure enough just fell down on my knees
