When you can't find the light That got you through the cloudy days 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 Well 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 Damn sure better than rain Yeah now people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta 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 this darkness before the dawn 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 feel 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 Talkin' 'bout your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain And now people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day Oh, it's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine It's damn sure better than rain Yeah now people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
