True colours' is a beautiful song that is sung by Cyndi Lauper and was released in 1986. Cyndi Lauper said in an interview that the song meant a lot to her, and because of the death of a friend who died from AIDS, she soon founded 'the true colours fun', an organization dedicated to LGBT youth homelessness. The song is about not being afraid of showing your true colours, who you are, don't be scared to be yourself.
