When you can't find the light
That got you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shining bright
You feel like you lost your way
When those candlelights of home
Burn so very far away
You gotta let your soul shine
Just like my dad's
They used to say
Used to say soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than a moonshine
It's damn sure better than rain
Yeah, the people don't mind
Cause we all get this way sometimes
You gotta let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
I grew up thinking that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
Life can take the strongest man
And make him feel so alone
Now and then I feel the cold wind
Blowing through my aching bones
I think back to what my daddy said
I think back to what my daddy said
He said, boy, in the darkness before the dawn
Used to say soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
And damn sure better than rain
Yeah, now people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
Gotta let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
Shine till the break of day
Shine till the break of day

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
Like a woman
Drives among this better soul
A woman too, God knows
She can feel like this
And when your world seems so black
We gotta let your spirit take control
guitar solo
Let your soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
And I'm sure better than rain
All our people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
We gotta let your spirit take control
Let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
guitar solo
Let your soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
And I'm sure better than rain
And I'm sure better than rain
And I'm sure better than rain

All our people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
We gotta let your spirit take control
You gotta let your soul shine, shine to the break of day
