true color歌詞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
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
拓展閲讀"True Colors"由Billy Steinberg與Tom Kelly操刀,是專輯中唯一非辛迪所寫的曲子,但此曲卻成為傳唱至今的雋永經典,後人更是翻唱不斷。真摯略啞的嗓音,與簡單純粹的絃樂、吉他編曲,及充滿正能量的'歌詞讓這首歌的張力直接穿透身體,觸動最深層無法言喻的情緒。
"True Colors"成為辛迪的第二首美國冠軍單曲。辛迪對這首歌曲之所以產生共鳴,是因為這首歌讓辛迪想起因艾滋病而逝的舊交Gregory Natal。這首歌因此也成為同志圈的代表歌曲,辛迪也因此建立了"True Colors"基金會,主要受益羣眾為男女同志人羣,雙性戀以及變性人等弱勢羣體。Cyndi Lauper是一位和麥當娜幾乎同時出道的歌手,但一直都不紅不黑。
