Are beautiful like a rainbow
Show me a smile and 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'll see your true colors shining through
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

Are beautiful like a rainbow

I'll see your true colors shining through
See your true colors 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
