| When you cant find the light, | |
| That got you through the cloudy days, | |
| When the stars aint shinin bright, | |
| You feel like youve lost youre way, | |
| When those candle lights of home, | |
| Burn so very far away, | |
| Well you got to let your soul shine, | |
| Just like my momma used to say. | |
| (chorus) | |
| She used to say soulshine, | |
| Its better than sunshine, | |
| Its better than moonshine, | |
| Damn sure better than rain. | |
| And if the people dont mind, | |
| We all get this way sometime, | |
| Got to let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. | |
| Growin up, I thought I had it made, | |
| Gonna make it on my own. | |
| Life can take the strongest man, | |
| Make him feel so all alone. | |
| Now sometimes I feel a cold wind, | |
| Blowin through my achin bones, | |
| I think back to what my daddy said, | |
| He said girl, it's the darkest before the dawn: | |
| (chorus) | |
| Let your soul shine, | |
| Its better than sunshine, | |
| Its better than moonshine, | |
| Damn sure better than rain. | |
| And if the people dont mind, | |
| We all feel this way sometimes, | |
| Gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. | |
| Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness, | |
| Like a woman has shot down to 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. | |
| (chorus) | |
| Let your soul shine, | |
| Its better than sunshine, | |
| Its better than moonshine, | |
| Damn sure better than rain. | |
| Lord now people dont mind, | |
| We all get this way sometimes, | |
| Gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. | |
| Oh, its better than sunshine, | |
| Its better than moonshine, | |
| Damn sure better than rain. | |
| And if the people dont mind, | |
| We all get this way sometimes, | |
| Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day. |
