Raze - Amazing Lyrics
Lyrics
(I just wanna lose myself)
Just another complication in my brain
Living with too much information
Driving this lonely heart insane
(Until a vision of You walked in the door)
(Showed me something my heart was looking for)
That was, so real
I suddenly found my destination
Now Your love is the answer
Th-at I, needed
I needed to know
Chorus
You're amazing
Everything You do is captivating
Gets me thinking maybe just once, maybe
I just wanna lose myself
Am I crazy
For thinking maybe that You just might save me
Gets me thinking maybe just once, maybe
I just wanna lose myself
(I just wanna lose myself)
Now a broken-hearted fool is on the mend
Trying to find the inspiration
Praying it comes around again
(There's a fear that I have in letting go)
(Getting close to the One I wanna know)
Can this, be real
Help me believe that love has found me
Am I ready to love You like I, need to
Now I'm letting g-o
Chorus
I just wanna lose myself
Now this jam here was made for hip hop
We got the beats to make your head bob
Loops, grooves, to make the show stop
(Raze is the group and we'll call it pop)
Captivating, and amazing
Lord You are, king of the big top
Now this jam here was made for hip hop
(So why don't we all just stop)
Am I ready to love You like I, need to
Now I'm letting g-o
You're amazing
Just once, maybe
(Uh huh)
(Crazy, crazy)
Just once, maybe
I just wanna lose myself
Chorus
(Lose myself)
(We'll be right back)

The Amazing Race Canada – Episode 1
Meaning & Inspiration
"Amazing" by Raze, released on March 21, 2018, as part of the soundtrack for *The Amazing Race Canada* Season 1, offers a compelling narrative of finding solace and purpose through a transformative encounter. The song opens with a raw depiction of internal struggle, where the narrator grapples with an overwhelming influx of information and a heart burdened by loneliness, echoing the sentiments of Psalm 42:11, which asks, "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." This initial state of confusion and emotional distress sets the stage for a profound shift. The arrival of a significant presence, described as a "vision," introduces a moment of clarity and direction, suggesting an intervention that reveals what the heart was truly seeking. This experience is not merely superficial; it is described as "so real," leading the narrator to an unexpected "destination." This newfound clarity and purpose strongly resonate with the biblical concept of God's guidance and provision, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
The core of the song's message lies in the recognition of love as the ultimate answer. The narrator articulates a desperate need to know this love, a sentiment that aligns with the Apostle Paul's declaration in Romans 8:38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." The chorus powerfully expresses this overwhelming sense of wonder and surrender. The declaration of someone being "amazing" and "captivating" speaks to an awe-inspired recognition of divine qualities. The repeated desire to "lose myself" signifies a yearning to relinquish self-reliance and fully embrace this transformative love, mirroring the call to humility and dependence on God found in Matthew 16:25: "For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it." The narrator’s question, "Am I crazy for thinking maybe that You just might save me?" is a profound acknowledgment of the seemingly audacious hope that divine intervention can bring salvation. This resonates with the faith of individuals who, against all odds, placed their trust in God's redemptive power, as seen in the story of David facing Goliath or the disciples trusting Jesus amidst the storm.
The latter part of the song shifts to the process of healing and overcoming past hurts. The image of a "broken-hearted fool is on the mend" and the search for "inspiration" and praying for its return suggest a journey of recovery, reminiscent of the restoration promised to those who turn to God. The fear of "letting go" and the apprehension about "getting close to the One I wanna know" point to the vulnerability inherent in true connection and surrender. Yet, the plea, "Help me believe that love has found me," underscores a deep desire for assurance and a readiness to reciprocate that love. This echoes the Apostle John's assertion in 1 John 4:19: "We love because he first loved us." The ultimate surrender, "Now I'm letting go," marks a pivotal moment of trust and acceptance, allowing for the profound experience of being truly known and loved. While a portion of the song shifts to a more celebratory, beat-driven reflection on its own musicality within a hip-hop context, the underlying spiritual theme of finding liberation and salvation through an external, powerful love remains the most compelling aspect of Raze's "Amazing." The song's powerful narrative of internal struggle, transformative encounter, and the eventual surrender to a love that heals and redeems offers a deeply human and inspiring message, encouraging listeners to consider the possibility of a divine grace that can indeed save and redefine their lives.
