"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."
