Lyrics
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 singin'
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
Something in the air was oh, so rare
I don't know what it was
But I know that it's still right there
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, he-e-e-ey 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
and it's confusing to me Lord, I'm terrified
Never been much on religion
But I sure enough just fell down on my knees
