Lyrics

I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Just show your true colors
True colors are beautiful
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh, I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it
And the darkness, inside you
Makes you feel so small
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Oh-oh, like a rainbow
Show me your smile
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And see your true colors
Shining through
(Shine)
I see your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
(Baby, don't)
Just show your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Oh-oh, like a rainbow
So sad eyes
Take courage now
Realize
When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
(Shine)
I see your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
(Baby, don't)
Just show your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
(Shine)
I see your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Oh, your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful
So beautiful, like a rainbow
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Show me your colors
(Show me your color)
Show me your rainbow
(Beautiful like a rainbow)
Show me your colors, colors, colors
(True colors shine)
Show me your rainbow
(So beautiful, that's why I love you)
Show me your colors
(True colors shining through)
Show me your rainbow
(Beautiful like a rainbow)
(Ooh-ooh)
Show me your colors, colors, colors
(True colors shine)
Show me your rainbow
(So beautiful, that's why I love you)
Show me your true colors
Shining through
Your true colors
Shining through
True colors shining through
True colors
