Newsboys' song 'Crazy' celebrates a radical, fearless faith that embraces being seen as foolish by the world. The lyrics reference Jesus' teachings, such as the first being last and the meek inheriting the earth, and His willingness to give up a throne for the cross. The song encourages believers to live a reckless, righteous life, proudly identifying as children of the living God even when others call them strange or mad. It's an energetic anthem about wholehearted devotion and the joy of following Christ without concern for worldly opinion.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
You turned the world on its head with Your words
Said, "the first will be last and the last will be first"
You loved the traitor, those who spat in Your face
And You gave up a throne for a cross and a grave
Oh, I wanna be that radical
Oh, fearless and fanatical
Crazy!
I don't care if the whole world calls me
Crazy!
I don't care if it looks like I've lost my mind, I'm alive
To live a reckless, righteous, foolish life
Maybe
I was born to be crazy
I was born to be crazy
You said the meek would inherit the earth
And the wise of the world came to call You absurd
You spoke of kingdoms that no eye has seen
And proclaimed You're the way to eternity
Oh, I wanna be that radical
Oh, fearless and fanatical
Crazy!
I don't care if the whole world calls me
Crazy!
I don't care if it looks like I've lost my mind, I'm alive
To live a reckless, righteous, foolish life
Maybe
I was born to be crazy
I was born to be crazy
Some say strange
Some say odd
I say child of the living God
Some say mad
Some say wrong
I say child of the living God

Crazy!
I don't care if the whole world calls me
Crazy!
I don't care if it looks like I've lost my mind, I'm alive
To live a reckless, righteous, foolish life
Maybe
I was born to be crazy
I was born to be crazy
I was born to be crazy
I was born to be crazy
