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 can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, ooh inside you can make you feel so small
[Chorus]
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 like a rainbow
[Verse 2]
Show me a smile then 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
You call me up because you know I'll be there
[Chorus]
And I'll 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 it show
Your true colors
Your true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow
[Bridge]
Can't remember when I last saw you laugh
If this world makes you crazy, you've taken all you can bear
You call me up because you know I'll be there
[Chorus]
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 it show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through
[Chorus]
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 like a rainbow
