True Colors Lyrics

[TINA]
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 darkness still inside you 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 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, 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 'em shining through)
I see your true colors, and that's why I love you (That's why I love you)
So don't be afraid to let them show (Don't be afraid)
Your true colors, true colors
I see your true colors shining through (Yeah)
I'll see your true colors, and that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show, your true colors (Don't be afraid)
True colors are beautiful, like a rainbow
