True Colors was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. The song conveys genuine feelings about trust and solidarity, initially inspired by Steinbergs mother. It later became an anthem for recognition and acceptance, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community.
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 make you feel so small
But I'll see your true colors shining through I'll 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

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'll see your true colors shining through I'll 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

Oooo.... Can't remember when I last saw you laughing (whispered) 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 I'll 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'll 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 ...
