Lunch Break Videos: Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors”
Of Cyndi Lauper’s many songs, it is True Colors that I love the most. The lyrics resonate with any gay person who is struggling or has every struggled to live an authentic life.
Here are the lyrics and the video is from an appearance Cyndi made in 2007 on The View:
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 inside you
can make you fell so small
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
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
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 are beautiful
like a rainbow
