True Colors

"True Colors" is a song written by songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly.  It was both the title track and the first single released from Cyndi Lauper's second album.  The choir at my church sang a beautiful version of it this Sunday.  Please enjoy the lyrics for all of their meaning.




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 inside you can make you feel so small.
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, your true colors are beautiful like a rainbow.


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 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, your 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, your true colors are beautiful like a rainbow.




Take care.
