Song 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 lose sight of it
And the darkness inside you makes you feel so small

But I see your true colours shining through
I see your true colours, that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
(Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh)
Like a rainbow
(Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh)

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

I see your true colours shining through
I see your true colours, that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show your true colours
True colours are beautiful (Cheer up!) like a rainbow

I see your colours though they appear to be different
You should never be afraid because your difference is the difference
We live in a time where to be yourself is hard
And the way you really feel can leave you emotional scar
But stay strong, stay firm and never back down
Being yourself is the only way to act that
(Like a rainbow)
Trust me, I’m a fighter and a lover
But the only time I fight is to reveal my true colours
You know
(Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh)

I see your true colours shining through
I see your true colours, that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show your true colours
True colours are beautiful like a rainbow
Like a rainbow
Your true colours, yeah
Your true colours, yeah
I see them, your true colours
You with your sad eyes
