Some major beliefs of Transcendentalism is that nature is our best teacher. They believe that nature has God within it, and since all humans are apart of nature, they have parts of God within them, making them divine. This is why humans have morals and know the difference between right and wrong. Transcendentalists also believe that God is present everywhere, so there is no need for churches or organized religion. They believe in having a direct relationship with God, not one through church leaders. Transcendentalists also believe that all people are good at their core, and that society can corrupt people by causing them to conform, which kills their individuality. They also believe that materialism can cause corruption because it is superficial and worthless to their well being.

This song is a perfect representation of Transcendentalism because it talks about how humans true colors are pure and beautiful, just like how Transcendentalists believe humans are truly good and pure at their core.
