Amazing
Seal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyone says you're amazing

Say you don't know how to do it now
So you run
It's not that you're bleeding, but you're through with it now
So you run, so you run

I know that you need it, you can't live alone
So you run, so you run

Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know the real ones are cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you hear everyone say you're amazing
Does anybody ask you

Do you cry in your sleep and do you feel ok
When you run

Thinking it's Doomsday you got to let it go
So you run, so you run

Pretend you don't see it, that we can live a lie
So you run, so you run

Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know the real ones are cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you hear everyone say you're amazing
Does anybody ask you

Cause I know that you're real, amazing, amazing, amazing

Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know the real ones are because you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you hear everyone say you're amazing

Everyone says you're amazing (I want you to always feel you're amazing)
Everyone says you're amazing (I want you to always feel you're amazing)




(I want you to always feel you're amazing)
You're amazing

Finally a song that shares the beauty of recovery. There is enough gloom and doom about addiction out there. This song makes me feel special.

The one and only Seal. Amazing. A voice that can never be duplicated. So talented.

If that's true, why does everyone think he sang "What Is Love?"

Seal, thank you for creating such amazing music! I've been a fan since the 90s, but haven't taken the chance to show my appreciation for your incredible talent. This song has special meaning. I have a brother who has been clean for the past few years and he really is doing amazing. He runs 10k races and even medals in his age group.

Seal has the most "Amazing" voice in the music industry. The first time I heard him was on his debut album and have been hooked ever since. His voice is just super beautiful 😍❤ Thanks for living among us Mr. Seal. Kudos and blessings from Chicago a very devoted fan :)
