Steven Curtis Chapman's 'Something Crazy' celebrates the transformative power of God's love, which compels believers to act in ways that may seem foolish to the world. The song tells of a street preacher with a megaphone and a woman in Uganda who adopted forty kids, both driven by love. Chapman reflects that true love, especially divine love, leads to radical devotion and sacrifice. He ties this to the gospel, noting that believing in Jesus' incarnation is itself a 'crazy' act of love. The upbeat, joyful tone encourages listeners to embrace a life marked by love's compelling, sometimes unconventional, call.

He's got a Bible and a megaphone standing on the corner
And everybody's saying he's crazy
Well does he really think anybody wants to hear what he has to say
He's not screaming anybody in fact it's as if
It's a love story that he's trying to tell them
And he knows it may look a little strange
But he just smiles and says "that's okay"
Cause you know sometimes love makes you act that way
And it's crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true
You really don't know love at all
Until it's making you do
Something crazy
I know a lady in Uganda and forty kids call her Momma
And everybody thought it was crazy
She used to drive a beemer, but I've never seen her
Any happier than she is now
I've met them all around the world, they're the boys and girls
Filled up with the love of the Father
And they know it may seem a little strange
But they just smile and says "that's alright"
Cause love puts everything in a different light
And it's crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true
You really don't know love at all
Until it's making you do
Something crazy
Something crazy
Crazy
Crazy when love gets a hold of you
Crazy, crazy
Crazy thing that love will make you do
Well, some might say it's a crazy thing
To believe in a man who would say he came
From heaven down to earth because of love
But I just smile and say "that's okay"
Cause you know sometimes love makes you act that way
And it's crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true
You really don't know love at all
Until it's making you do
Crazy when love gets a hold of you
And it's crazy things that love will make you do
And it's crazy but it's true
You really don't know love at all
Until it's making you do
Something crazy
