Tom Dowd - Soulshine lyrics

[Instrumental intro] When you can't find the light That guides you through a cloudy day When the stars ain't shinin' bright You feel like you've lost you're way When the candle light of home Burns so very far away Well, you got to let your soul shine Just like my daddy used to say [Chorus] He used to say soulshine 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 sometime 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 Life can take the strongest man Make him feel so alone Now sometimes I feel a cold wind Blowin' through my achin' bones I think back to what my daddy said He said, "Boy, there is darkness before the dawn" [Chorus] 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 Gotta 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 [Guitar bridge] [Chorus] Talkin' bout soulshine 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 Gotta 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 feel this way sometimes Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day [Instrumental outro]
