[MattyBRaps, Olivia Key - True Colors lyrics]
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 darkness still inside you
But, you feel so small
I can name a couple things
That should never change
Like the feeling of happiness that you get
When you're with friends on a summer day
The simple things: how we work, how we play
How we all should treat each other the same
You know acceptance isn't easy though it
Challenges us all in some way
Whether it's color, age, gender or race
We get uncomfortable when someone
Else is different
And they enter our space and it pressures
Us to be open to change but take a moment
Flip the script and try to
Picture this with roles rearranged
Because you're different you experience hate
Mistreated not because of actions that you've
Taken or a terrible mistake
But hated on because of your DNA
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, your true colors
It's crazy all the types
People we can characterize
We laugh when friends tell us a
Story and they start to describe
In funny ways a group of
People through a stereotype
But when it's pointed back at you, hold up
That isn't true
You see it's never doing harm
Until it feels unfair
And then we speak up but wonder
Why no one else cares
I think the truth is that we all
Just want a place to fit in
It's hard enough to find friends
Much less for some other kid
But, if we're honest inside
And really wanna do right
Judging others for something they have
No control over might be comical at times
But that'd make me less of a man
The bigger thing I think is
Standing as a leader instead
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, your true colors
I keep believing for the day
We put our difference aside
And let a person be themselves
Before we cover our eyes
Imagine life without the boundaries we
Create with our pride
And opportunities we lose because
We judge from inside i'm just a kid but now
I'm trying hard to rationalize
How somebody can spot a splinter with
A log in their eye
There's a legacy that we're leaving
And it's greater than us
Cause the truth is that we're all
Equal and the answer is love
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, your true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow
There's always room for change
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 darkness still inside you
But, you feel so small
I can name a couple things
That should never change
Like the feeling of happiness that you get
When you're with friends on a summer day
The simple things: how we work, how we play
