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 your way   When the candle light of home   Burn so very far away   Now you got to let your soul shine   Just like my daddy used to say      He used to say soul shine, it's better than sunshine   It's better than moonshine, damn sure, better than a rain   Hey, now people don't mind, we all feel this way sometime   You got to 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   You 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   A 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 soul shine, it's better than sunshine   It's better than moonshine, damn sure, better than a rain   Yeah, now people don't mind, we all feel this way sometimes   You got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day      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   Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
