True Colours
You with sad the sad eyesDon’t be discouraged, oh I realizeIt’s hard to take courageIn a world full of peopleYou can lose sight of it allAll the dreams inside youBut you feel so small
I can name a couple things that should never changeLike the feeling of happiness that you get when you’re with friends on a summer dayThe simple things: how we work, how we playHow we all should treat each other the sameYou know acceptance isn’t easy though; it challenges us all in some wayWeather its color, age, gender or raceWe get uncomfortable when someone else is differentAnd they enter our space and it pressures us to be open to changeBut take a moment, flip the script and try to picture this with roles rearrangedBecause you’re different you experience hateMistreated not because of actions that you’ve taken or a terrible mistakeBut hated on because of your DNA
I see your true colors shining throughI see your true colors and that’s why I love youSo don’t be afraid to let them showYour true colors, your true colors
It’s crazy all the types people we can characterizeWe laugh when friends tell us a story and they start to describeIn funny ways a group of people through a stereotypeBut when it’s pointed back at you, hold up, that isn’t trueYou see it’s never doing harm until it feels unfairAnd then we speak up but wonder why no one else caresI think the truth is that we all just want a place to fit inIt’s hard enough to find friends, much less for some other kidBut if we’re honest insideAnd really wanna do rightJudging others for something they have no control over mightBe comical at times, but that’d make me less of a manThe bigger thing I think is standing as a leader instead
I see your true colors shining throughI see your true colors and that’s why I love youSo don’t be afraid to let them showYour true colors, your true colors
I keep believing for the day we put our difference asideAnd let a person be themselves before we cover our eyesImagine life without the boundaries we create with our prideAnd opportunities we lose because we judge from insideI’m just a kid but now I’m trying hard to rationalizeHow somebody can spot a splinter with a log in their eyeThere’s a legacy that we’re leaving and it’s greater than usCause the truth is that we’re all equal and the answer is love
I see your true colors shining throughI see your true colors and that’s why I love youSo don’t be afraid to let them showYour true colors, your true colorsAre beautiful like a rainbow
There's always room for change
