I'm Scared Lyrics - Singles - Burton Cummings

Said I'm scared, Lord, I'm scared, I'm terrified 

Never been much on religion 

But I sure never 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 

Heard the choir singing something about goodwill toward men 

And even then sleeping in heavenly peace 

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 that it's still right there 

And I'm scared Lordy 

Lord I'm shaken I'm terrified 

Never been much on religion but I sure enough 

Just fell down on my knees 

Livin' in confusion, searchin' for truth that I'd never found 

I needed, somethin' to really believe 

Turned 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 that it's still right there 

I'm scared, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey I'm terrified 

Never been much in religion 

But I sure enough fell down on my knees 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 

I'm scared you know 

I'm shakin', I'm layin' awake thinking about her now I'm terrified 

Never been much on religion 

But I sure enough would like to hear the call 

Common now, give me a sign your listening to me 

You hear me talkin', you hear my cryin' 

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

Never been much on religion but I sure enough 

Just fell down on my knees 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
