true colours

hey you,
you're the prettiest girl i've ever seen with curls, you are not ugly at all,
okay?


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 there inside you
Makes you feel so small

But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
And 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 see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Ohhhh
I can't remember
When I last saw you laugh
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 see your true colours
Shining through
See your true colours
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colours, true colours
Are beautiful like a rainbow

Ohhhhhhh


Here is a plug for the US version of the same commercial for the Dove Self-Esteem Fund: http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/commercial.asp?src=InsideCampaign_commercial
This whole Dove campaign - using real women, real girls, real people - is advertising at its ace. Two thumbs up!

And you know what? here's the spoof of it.
