[Cyndi Lauper:]
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
Its 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 feel so small

[Sara Beth Bareilles (December 7, 1979):] Source: LYBIO.net
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
But I wonder what would happen if you

[Cyndi Lauper:]
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

[Sara Bareilles:]
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

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
Come on, now
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
Come on, call me up

Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

[Cyndi Lauper & Sara Bareilles:]
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

[Cyndi Lauper:]
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful

[Sara Bareilles:]
Innocence, your history of silence

[Cyndi Lauper:]
I can't remember when I last saw you laughing

[Sara Bareilles:]
Let your words be anything but empty.

[Cyndi Lauper:]
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

[Sara Bareilles:]
Why don't you tell them the truth?

[Overlapping:]
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

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Just wanna see you be brave
Wanna see you be brave
Just wanna see you be brave
Don't be
Don't be afraid
