Transcribed by sean carpenter<br><br>When you can't find the light,<br>That got you through the cloudy days,<br>When the stars ain't shinin' bright,<br>You feel like you've lost you're way,<br>When those candle lights of home,<br>Burn so very far away,<br>Well you got to let your soul shine,<br>Just like my daddy used to say.<br><br>[chorus]<br>He used to say soulshine,<br>It's better than sunshine,<br>It's better than moonshine,<br>Damn sure better than rain.<br>Hey now people don't mind,<br>We all get this way sometime,<br>Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.<br><br>I grew up thinkin' that I had it made,<br>Gonna make it on my own.<br>Life can take the strongest man,<br>Make him feel so alone.<br>Now and then I feel a cold wind,<br>Blowin' through my achin' bones,<br>I think back to what my daddy said,<br>He said boy, in the darkness before the dawn:<br><br>[chorus]<br>Let your soul shine,<br>It's better than sunshine,<br>It's better than moonshine,<br>Damn sure better than rain.<br>Yeah now people don't mind,<br>We all get this way sometimes,<br>Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.<br><br>Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,<br>Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.<br>A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.<br>And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.<br><br>[chorus]<br>Let your soul shine,<br>It's better than sunshine,<br>It's better than moonshine,<br>Damn sure better than rain.<br>Lord now people don't mind,<br>We all get this way sometimes,<br>Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.<br><br>Oh, it's better than sunshine,<br>It's better than moonshine,<br>Damn sure better than rain.<br>Yeah now people don't mind,<br>We all get this way sometimes,<br>Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
