[Verse 1]
おなじいろにそまれないぼくわひとりいつもむくち
はてないやみのしんえんにたって
とほうにくれるときもある

[Chorus]
Can you see my true colors shining through?
ありのままのぼくでいいのか
といかけてもこころのなか
いろあせたじぶんのこえがこだましてる

[Verse 2]
おなじいろにそまらないきみわなぜかいつもえがおだ
いたみがわかるひとのやさしさで
ぼくにそっとつぶやいた

[Chorus]
I see your true colors shining through
ありのままのきみがすきだよ
おそれずにうえをむいて
きみだけのかのうせいがひかっている
Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow
Oh-oh, mmm

[Bridge]
In a world full of people, you can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you makes you feel so small
なみだわみらいのほうせきだから
ないたぶんだけかちがある

[Chorus]
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, your true colors are beautiful
I see your true colors shining through
ありのままのきみでいいから
おそれずにうえをむいて
あしたのきみだけのかのうせいがひかっている
Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow
