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 get lose sight of it all and the darkness inside 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, 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
