My Mother and her True Colors….
Most people will never truly know or understand who my mother really is. I think I am really the only one who truly knows her. I am the only one she allows in. I see her true self. All of her good, and her bad. She’s truly my best friend. She’s the best mother I could ever wish for. Even though she doesn’t show them, I can always see her true colors. So this song is for her.
Cyndi Lauper - True Colors
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 feel 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

I actually like Cindy better - I don’t know… its more heartfelt and authentic to me. I love Phil… just not for this song.
