[Intro] Morning light Through the window Little capsules Turning colors on the floor Red Blue Yellow Pink Where were you hiding Before the light came in? [Verse 1] There was a clear little capsule Sitting quietly by the glass Nothing special Nothing shining Easy just to walk right past Then a little ray of sunlight Found its way across the room And suddenly There were colors I had never seen before Like it was saying— “Hey I've been here all along” [Pre-Chorus] And I started wondering Are people like that too? Maybe someone looks at you In just the right kind of light And you see a side of yourself You never knew was there [Chorus] Shine on me I wanna see All the colors Already in me Red and blue Something new Maybe I've been more Than I ever knew Shine on you What would I find? A hundred little colors You've been keeping inside But wait— What happens When the sun goes away? [Verse 2] If sunlight tells me Who I am What am I On a cloudy day? When the rain comes down And the room turns grey Do all my colors Fade away? No. That doesn't sound right Maybe I was looking at it The wrong way around Maybe light Never gave me a color Maybe— It only helped me See what was already there [Chorus] Shine on me I wanna see All the colors Already in me But cloudy skies Don't change my mind I'm still me Without the light Shine on you Even when Nobody notices Who you've been The light doesn't make Your colors appear It only says— “Look. They were always here.” [Bridge] Rainy day Cloudy day Everything outside Turns grey But the sun Didn't disappear Just because I can't see it So maybe I'm the same Maybe you are too Maybe all those hidden colors Don't need the sky To prove they're true [Final Chorus] Shine on me Shine on you Morning light Comes breaking through Red and blue Yellow and pink Capsule colors Across the room Shine on you And if someday Your whole sky Turns cold and grey Maybe I can be A little light Just long enough To help you find— The colors Already inside [Outro] Color me Color you Not because We had no color Maybe light Just helps us see What was there Before we knew ... Morning light Across Capsule Wave And all those colors Were already there.
