[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
