Verse 1:
I've been hiding out my true colors
All the time, they've been calling out
I should show them proudly, oh, yeah
Chorus:
True colors, they come out when you let them out
You're not alone, you're not alone
Show them your true colors
Won't somebody see?
Oh, you're not alone
Verse 2:
It's not what you see that's wrong or right
But you'll find, you know they'll run right by you
Try to hurt you with their eyes, yeah
Chorus:
True colors, they come out when you let them out
You're not alone, you're not alone
Show them your true colors
Won't somebody see?
Oh, you're not alone
Bridge:
Let the world be brighter for you today
No more pain, no more tears in your eyes
Just let your true colors fly, fly away
Chorus:
True colors, they come out when you let them out
You're not alone, 'cause we'll see through all your disguises
So show us your true colors
Yeah, show us your true colors now!
Yeah, now everybody dance!
Yeah! Show 'em what you really are!
