When you can't find the light That guides you through a cloudy day When the stars ain't shining bright You feel like you've lost your way When those candle lights of home Burn so very far away You've got to let your soul shine Just like my daddy used to say He used to say soulshine Was better than sunshine It's better than a moonshine It's damn sure better than rain And the people don't mind Cause we all get this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine And shine til the break of day I grew up thinking that I had it made Gonna make it on my own Love can take the strongest man And make him feel so alone Now and then I feel a cold wind Blowing through my aching bones I think back to what my daddy said He said boy, at the darkness before the dawn He used to say soulshine Was better than sunshine It's better than moonshine And damn sure better than rain And now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine Shine til the break of day Well sometimes a man Can feel this emptiness Like a woman Has robbed him of his bitter soul A woman too God knows She can feel like this And when your world seems so cold You gotta let your spirit take control Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than a moonshine And damn sure better than rain And oh, now people don't mind We all get this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine Shine til the break of day Soul shine It's better than a sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain And the people don't mind Cause we all get this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine And shine til the break of day
