Lyrics

 * Buster:
 * 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
 * True colors are beautiful,
 * Like a rainbow


 * Melody:
 * Show me a smile then,
 * Don't be unhappy, can't remember
 * When I last saw your 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
 * True colors are beautiful,
 * Like a rainbow


 * Buster:
 * I can't remember
 * When I last saw you laughing
 * If this world makes you crazy


 * Melody:
 * And you've taken all you can bear
 * You call me up
 * Because you know I'll be there


 * Both:
 * 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
