when you canand't find the light,
that got you through the cloudy days,
when the stars ainand't shininand' bright,
you feel like youand've lost youand're way,
when those candle lights of home,
burn so very far away,
well you got to let your soul shine,
just like my daddy used to say.
[chorus]
he used to say soulshine,
itand's better than sunshine,
itand's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
hey now people donand't mind,
we all get this way sometime,
got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
i grew up thinkinand' that i had it made,
gonna make it on my own.
life can take the strongest man,
make him feel so alone.
now and then i feel a cold wind,
blowinand' through my achinand' bones,
i think back to what my daddy said,
he said andquot;boy, in the darkness before the dawn:andquot;
[chorus]
let your soul shine,
itand's better than sunshine,
itand's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
yeah now people donand't mind,
we all get this way sometimes,
gotta 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.
[chorus]
let your soul shine,
itand's better than sunshine,
itand's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
lord now people donand't mind,
we all get this way sometimes,
gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
oh, itand's better than sunshine,
itand's better than moonshine,
damn sure better than rain.
yeah now people donand't mind,
we all get this way sometimes,
gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
