Lyrics of
True Colors

True Colors was penned by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. The inspiration stemmed from Steinbergs personal sorrow following his fathers death. Initially inspired by sadness, the song eventually morphed into a piece that highlights an individuals beauty and authenticity.

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
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

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
Just call me up
'Cause I will always 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
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
Ooohh like a rainbow
