Soulshine

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 your way When those candle lights of home Burns so very far away Well you got to let your soul shine Just like my mamma used to say. She used to say soulshine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain. And if the people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. Growin' up, I thought I had it made I could make it on my own. But life can take the strongest man Make him feel so all alone. Now sometimes I feel the cold wind Blowin' through my achin bones I think back to what my daddy said He said girl, it's the darkest before the dawn: Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain. And if the people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness Like a woman has shot down to his very soul. And a woman too, God knows, she can feel like this. And when the world seems cold You got to let your spirit take control. You gotta let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain. And if the people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day.
