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 inside you

Can make you feel so small



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



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



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 them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow



When this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know i'll be there



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 them show

Your true colors

True colors, true colors

'cause there's a 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 are beautiful

Beautiful, like a rainbow
