True Colors
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Though I realise
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
Make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shinin' 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 can call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And 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,
Your true colors,
Are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
A beautiful song for our world today. Dove has recently showed the whole Philippines their new commercial where this song is being played throughout while some girls are really conscious about themselves. This is a really nice commercial since girls, or even boys if i may say so, are admiring stick-thin models which i am really against by the way. They do what they see even if it's not what their body wants.
Anorexia bloomed because of this fast-spreading-contagious perception, a sickness in mind that tells you to be thin. Even those stick-thin models you see in magazines admit they don't really look that way in real life. Those thin figures we see are the effects of technology. Photographers edit those looks with computers for people to say their models are beautiful. But beautiful for them has a wrong perception. Because in order to look good, you have to feel good. Don't contradict what your body tells you to do. I'm not saying that you have to be fat. What i'm saying is that there are too many people who are suffering from anorexia, especially celebrities, because of this wrong perception.
People are beautiful no matter what size they are. It's what inside that matters. Another thing is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And besides, in the end, it's not what others' opinions that matters, it's what God will say that will only matter.
