I'm Scared (Demo Version)

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 you call

I'm scared, Lordy Lord

I'm shakin', I'm petrified

Never been much on religion

But I sure enough would like to hear you call

Heard the choir singin'

Something about goodwill toward men

And 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'm not really sure what it was

But I think it might still be there

And that's why I'm scared

Lordy Lord, I'm scared, I'm terrified

Never been much on religion

But I sure enough would like to hear you call

I'm scared, can't you hear me?

I'm just shaken, I'm petrified

Never been much on religion

But I sure enough would like to hear you call

Heard the choir singin'

Something about goodwill 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 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 would like to hear you call

Oh, and I'm scared Lordy Lord

Can't you hear me shaken? I'm petrified

Never been much on religion

But I sure enough would like to hear you call

C'mon now, give me a sign your listening now

I'm scared, you know I'm shakin'

I'm layin' awake thinking about it, I'm terrified

Never been much on religion

But I sure enough wait for you to call

I can't think about it no more

You hear me talkin', you hear my cryin'

I'm staying awake wonderin', I'm terrified

Never been much on religion

But I sure enough would like to hear you call
