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 sleeping 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
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 that it’s still right there
and i’m scared hey i’m terrified
never been much on religion
but i sure enough just fell down on my knees
oh 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 oh
