When you can't find the light   That guides you through a cloudy day   When the stars ain't shining bright   And it feels like you lost your way   When the candle lights of home   Burn so very far away   Well you got to let your soul shine   Just like my uaddy used to say      He used to say soul shine   It's better than sunshine   Better than moonshine   Damn sure better than the rain   Hey now people don't mind   We all feel this way sometimes   Got to let your soul shine   Shine till the break of day      Grew up thinking that I had it made   Gonna make it on my own   But life can take the strongest man   And make him feel so alone   But 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"      Let your soul shine   Oh, it's better than sunshine   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      Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness   Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul   Woman too, God knows, she can feel like this   And when your world seems cold   You got to let your spirit take control      Talking about the soul shine   Better than sunshine   Better than moonshine   Damn sure better than rain   Lord, 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      Oh, it's better than sunshine   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
