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
