Soulshine

When you can't find the light
That got you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shinin bright
You feel like you've lost your way
When those candle lights of home
Burns so very far away
Well you got to let your soul shine
Just like my mamma used to say.

She used to say soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain.
And if the people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day.
Growin' up, I thought I had it made
I could make it on my own.
But life can take the strongest man
Make him feel so all alone.
Now sometimes I feel the 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:

Let your soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain.
And if the people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
You 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.
And a woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
And when the world seems cold

You got to let your spirit take control.
You gotta let your soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain.
And if the people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day.
You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day.
