Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you can't find the light
That got you through the cloudy days
When the stars ain't shining bright
You feel like you've lost your way
When the candlelight of home
Burns so very far away
Well, you gotta let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
[Verse 2]
He used to say soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Hey, now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
You gotta let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
[Verse 3]
I grew up thinking 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
Blowing through my aching bones
I think back to what my daddy said
He said, Boy, in this darkness before the dawn
[Verse 4]
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
You've got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Talking about 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
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
[Verse 7]
Oh, 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've got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
