[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, 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
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there
[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 3]
So sad eyes
Discouraged now
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
[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
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
[Outro]
Show me your colors
Show me your rainbow
Show me your rainbow
Show me your rainbow
Show me your rainbow
