I see your True Colours

I see a colour 
That’s deep inside you
That makes you distinctly you
But it’s buried underneath 
The layers of you
Far from the prying of the world
Cause the world may not get you
Or your colour
So you keep it hidden away!

You may smile
But you’re smile is just a mask
A mask that you wear 
Masking the pain you feel inside
Cause  you’re afraid to show you
Bare, bruised and broken
And so you smile through pain and sorrow 
With a hope for a better tomorrow

The world may seem like a nasty place
Tearing you down
Not letting you be you
Cause you don’t fit the norm
What they expect from you
Cause you dared to deviate
To be different
To challenge the norms they set upon you
When you refuse to melded and moulded 
In their ways 
Forcing you to hide your colours
While they show theirs dimming yours!

And when you think you had enough
You can’t take it anymore
Loosing sight of yourself
And that colour in you
Don’t loose hope, don’t give up
There’s goodness in the world
That will always find you
When you need it the most 
That will always be with you!

There are those who will support you
Who will have your back
When you need them
Who will be your rock
When times are bad 
Who will be the glue that will bind you
When you feel you’re crumbling 
Who will be your crutch 
When you go weak 
And need someone to pick you up
Who will be your flashlight
In the darkest of nights
Who’ll never let you be alone
Who see your true colour
And will let it shine through!

So 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
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow!
