Lyrics

You with the   eyes
Don't be  
Oh I  
It's hard to   courage
In a world   of people
You can lose   of it all
And the   inside you
Can make you feel so  

But I see your true colors
Shining  
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be   to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be   , can't remember
When I last saw you  

If this world makes you  
And you've taken all you can  
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

Can't remember, when I last saw you laugh.

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
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,
Like a rainbow
Legend

Meaning

"On 'True Colors' I had this verse and it was written about my mother: 'You've got a long list with so many choices, a ventriloquist with so many voices, and your friends in high places say where the pieces fit, you've got too many faces in your makeup kit, but I see your true colors shining through,' then it went on with the same chorus that the song has."
