Video Flashback: "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper

From all of Cyndi Lauper’s songs, "True Colors" has always been the one I have loved the most. It's lyrics resonate with any person who is struggling (or has every struggled) to live an authentic life.

Here is a video of Cyndi's 2007 appearance on "The View" where she was promoting her "True Colors" tour:



...and if you feel like singing-a-long, here are the lyrics to this beautiful song:

True Colors

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
