Lyrics:
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
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
And 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
Don’t you know you can call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

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 like a rainbow

I 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

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
Your true colors
Your true colors
Are shining through

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
Your true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow
