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 fell 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
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 fell 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
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
