[Verse 1]
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
Darkness inside you makes you feel so small

[Chorus]
But I see your true colors shining through
See your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
True colors
True colors
Beautiful
Like a rainbow

[Verse 2]
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 and you know I'll be there

[Chorus]
But I see your true colors
Shining through
See your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
True colors
True colors
Beautiful

[Bridge]
Just call me up and you know I'll be there

[Chorus]
I see your true colors
Shining through
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
Beautiful

I see your true colors
Shining through
See your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
True colors
True colors
True colors
True colors
True colors
Are beautiful
They are so beautiful
They're beautiful like a rainbow

[Outro]
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, ooh

Blige, Usher, and Tony Thompson before releasing her own debut album, Faith, in 1995. The album was certified platinum and featured the gold singles “You Used To Love Me” and “Soon As I Get Home”. After Biggie’s murder on March 9, 1997, Faith—along with Puff Daddy and 112—paid tribute to him on the #1 pop single “I’ll Be Missing You”, which won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1998.

Her second album, Keep the Faith, also achieved platinum status and featured the gold single “Love Like This”. She left Bad Boy after her third album, Faithfully, and released several albums through multiple labels, including the 2017 duet project, The King & I, which mixed her vocals with acapellas from The Notorious B.I.G.
