Soulshine

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 candle lights 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, "Soul shine Is better than sunshine It's better than a 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 'til 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 aching bones I think back to what my daddy said He said, "Boy", in the darkness just before dawn "Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine I know it's better than moonshine And sure better than rain" People now, don't you mind We all got this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine Shine 'til the break of day Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness Like a woman has robbed him off his very soul Well, a woman too, God knows, she can feel like this And when the world seems cold You gotta let your spirit take control That's what I'll tell ya Talkin' 'bout soul shine 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 (yeah) 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 'til the break of day
