Gov't Mule - Soul Shine lyrics

When you can't find the light That guides you through a cloudy day When the stars ain't shinin' bright And you fill like you've lost you're way When the candle lights of home Burn so very far away Well you got to let your soul shine Just like my daddy used to say He used to say soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Hey now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day I grew up thinkin' that I had it made Gonna make it on my own But life can take the strongest man And make him feel so alone Now and then I feel a cold wind Blowin' through my achin' bones I think back to what my daddy said He said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn?" Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Yeah now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this And when your world seems cold You got to let your spirit take control Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Lord now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day Oh, it's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Yeah now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day
