Have you ever worn black when you really wanted to wear blue?

Done something to disguise the real you?

We’ve all been there, hidden behind a mask

When being you seems like the hardest task

But in you, you will find all the magic of the rainbow

Your bursting with you, if you just let it show

You contain the purple of the night sky

The red in the dust where dingos lie

Your the reflection in a cold winter lake

The white of a falling snowflake

The green of new grass and the twinkle of a star

You are everything around you, near and far

So show your true colours be brave and be bold

The world doesn’t need you to fit in it’s mould
