True Colors
Deja Hall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line 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 still inside you
Makes you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through, 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

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
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll 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 the Rainbow

Beautiful

This run makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just 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

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

True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow
