Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 could lose sight of it
And the darkness inside you
Makes you feel so small
[Verse 2]
But 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
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful
Ooh, like a rainbow
[Verse 3]
Show me a smile
Don't be unhappy, can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there
[Verse 4]
And 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
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful
Ooh, like a rainbow
[Verse 5]
Such sad eyes
Take courage now
And 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
[Verse 6]
And 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
Your true colors, true colors, true colors
'Cause they're shining through
[Verse 7]
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid
Let them show
Your true colors, true colors, true colors
Are beautiful
Beautiful like a rainbow
[Verse 8]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Show me your colors)
Show me your colors
(Show me your rainbow)
Show me your rainbow
(Show me your colors)
(Show me your rainbow)
That's why I love you
(Show me your colors)
(Show me your rainbow)...
