When you can't find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shinin' bright
And it feels like you've lost your way
When the candlelights of home
Burn so very far away
Yeah, you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
He used to say "Soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than rain"
Well now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
Let me tell you this
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
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
I know it's better than moonshne
Damn sure better than rain"
People now, don't you mind
We all feet this way sometimes
You 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, that's why I tell ya
Talkin' 'bout soulshine
It's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than rain
Well now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Yeah, shine on and on and on and on
I said it's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than rain (hear me now, hear me now)
Well now people don't mind (don't you mind)
We all feel this way sometimes ('cause we all get this way sometimes)
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
