True Colours lyrics

You with sad 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

All the dreams inside you

But you feel so small

I can name a couple things that should never change

Like the feeling of happiness that you get when you’re with friends on a summer day

The simple things: how we work, how we play

How we all should treat each other the same

You know acceptance isn’t easy though; it challenges us all in some way

Weather its color, age, gender or race

We get uncomfortable when someone else is different

And they enter our space and it pressures us to be open to change

But take a moment, flip the script and try to picture this with roles rearranged

Because you’re different you experience hate

Mistreated not because of actions that you’ve taken or a terrible mistake

But hated on because of your DNA

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, your true colors

It’s crazy all the types people we can characterize

We laugh when friends tell us a story and they start to describe

In funny ways a group of people through a stereotype

But when it’s pointed back at you, hold up, that isn’t true

You see it’s never doing harm until it feels unfair

And then we speak up but wonder why no one else cares

I think the truth is that we all just want a place to fit in

It’s hard enough to find friends, much less for some other kid

But if we’re honest inside

And really wanna do right

Judging others for something they have no control over might

Be comical at times, but that’d make me less of a man

The bigger thing I think is standing as a leader instead

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, your true colors

I keep believing for the day we put our difference aside

And let a person be themselves before we cover our eyes

Imagine life without the boundaries we create with our pride

And opportunities we lose because we judge from inside

I’m just a kid but now I’m trying hard to rationalize

How somebody can spot a splinter with a log in their eye

There’s a legacy that we’re leaving and it’s greater than us

Cause the truth is that we’re all equal and the answer is love

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, your true colors

Are beautiful like a rainbow

There's always room for change
