Lyrics
New Directions:
Ah, ah, ah, ahhh
Ah, ah, ah, ahhh
Tina:
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 still inside you
Can make you feel so small
Tina with New Directions:
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
Tina:
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you 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
Tina with New Directions:
And I'll 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 (Tina: Are beautiful like a rainbow)
New Directions:
Ah, ah, ah, ahhh
Ah, ah, ah, ahhh
Tina Spoken:
I can't remember when I last saw you laughing
Tina with New Directions:
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'll see your true colors
Shining through (Tina: I see you shining, true)
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you (Tina: That's why I love you!)
So, don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through (Tina: Yeah!)
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
Tina:
True colors are beautiful like a rainbow
