[Verse 1: Emily West]
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 oh inside you makes you feel so small

[Chorus: Both]
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: Cyndi Lauper]
Show me a smile then
And don't be unhappy can't remember when I
Last saw you laughing
If world makes you crazy and you've taken all you can bear
You call me up, because you know I'll be there

[Chorus: Both]
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

[Emily West]
And I can't remember when I last saw you laughing
If world makes you crazy and you've taken all you can bear
You call me up, because you know I'll be there

[Chorus: Both]
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
True colors are 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

[Emily West]
Like a rainbow
