When you can't find the light,
|
That got you through a cloudy day,
|
When the stars ain't shinin' bright,
|
You feel like you've lost you're way,
|
When those candle lights of home,
|
Burn so very far away,
|
Now 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.
|
Yeah 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, in the 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.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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,
|
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 get this way sometimes,
|
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
