| [00:00.66] | You with the sad eyes |
| [00:03.93] | Don't be discouraged, oh I realize |
| [00:09.09] | It's hard to take courage |
| [00:12.49] | In a world full of people |
| [00:15.57] | You can lose sight of it all |
| [00:18.57] | All the darkness inside you |
| [00:21.04] | make you feel so small |
| [00:23.16] | I can name a couple things that should never change |
| [00:24.86] | Like the feeling of happiness that you get |
| [00:28.09] | when you're with friends on a summer day |
| [00:30.17] | The simple things: how we work, how we play |
| [00:32.24] | How we all should treat each other the same |
| [00:34.47] | You know acceptance isn't easy though; it challenges us all in some way |
| [00:37.41] | Whether its color, age, gender or race |
| [00:40.12] | We get uncomfortable when someone else is different |
| [00:42.49] | And they enter our space and it pressures us to be open to change |
| [00:45.80] | But take a moment, |
| [00:46.80] | flip the script and try to picture this with roles rearranged |
| [00:49.38] | Because you're different you experience hate |
| [00:51.57] | Mistreated not because of actions that you've taken or a terrible mistake |
| [00:55.13] | But hated on because of your DNA |
| [00:56.32] | |
| [00:57.11] | I see your true colors shining through |
| [01:02.75] | I see your true colors and that's why I love you |
| [01:09.21] | So don't be afraid to let them show |
| [01:14.12] | Your true colors, your true colors |
| [01:19.84] | |
| [01:20.27] | It's crazy all the types people we can characterize |
| [01:23.08] | We laugh when friends tell us a story and they start to describe |
| [01:26.02] | In funny ways a group of people through a stereotype |
| [01:28.73] | But when it's pointed back at you, hold up, that isn't true |
| [01:31.69] | You see it's never doing harm until it feels unfair |
| [01:34.36] | And then we speak up but wonder why no one else cares |
| [01:37.16] | I think the truth is that we all just want a place to fit in |
| [01:40.08] | It's hard enough to find friends, much less for some other kid |
| [01:43.13] | But if we're honest inside |
| [01:44.59] | And really wanna do right |
| [01:45.84] | Judging others for something they have no control over might |
| [01:48.63] | Be comical at times, but that'd make me less of a man |
| [01:51.16] | The bigger thing I think is standing as a leader instead |
| [01:52.94] | |
| [01:53.64] | I see your true colors shining through |
| [01:59.04] | I see your true colors and that's why I love you |
| [02:05.33] | So don't be afraid to let them show |
| [02:10.11] | Your true colors, your true colors |
| [02:16.53] | |
| [02:16.80] | I keep believing for the day we put our difference aside |
| [02:19.57] | And let a person be themselves before we cover our eyes |
| [02:22.33] | Imagine life without the boundaries we create with our pride |
| [02:25.25] | And opportunities we lose because we judge from inside |
| [02:28.13] | I'm just a kid but now I'm trying hard to rationalize |
| [02:31.05] | How somebody can spot a splinter with a log in their eye |
| [02:33.83] | There's a legacy that we're leaving and it's greater than us |
| [02:36.49] | Cause the truth is that we're all equal and the answer is love |
| [02:38.76] | |
| [02:39.02] | I see your true colors shining through |
| [02:44.25] | I see your true colors and that's why I love you |
| [02:50.81] | So don't be afraid to let them show |
| [02:56.45] | Your true colors, your true colors |
| [03:02.45] | Are beautiful like a rainbow |
| [03:07.15] | |
| [03:07.73] | There's always room for change |
