Soulshine |
When you can’t find the light |
That guides you through a cloudy day |
When the stars ain’t shining bright |
You feel like you’ve lost your way |
When those candle lights of home |
Burn so very far away |
You’ve got to let your soul shine |
Just like my daddy used to say |
He used to say soulshine |
Was better than sunshine |
It’s better than a moonshine |
It’s damn sure better than rain |
And the people don’t mind |
Cause we all get this way sometimes |
You gotta let your soul shine |
And shine til the break of day |
I grew up thinking that I had it made |
Gonna make it on my own |
Love can take the strongest man |
And make him feel so alone |
Now and then I feel a cold wind |
Blowing through my aching bones |
I think back to what my daddy said |
He said boy, at the darkness before the dawn |
He used to say soulshine |
Was better than sunshine |
It’s better than moonshine |
And damn sure better than rain |
And now people don’t mind |
We all get this way sometimes |
You gotta let your soul shine |
Shine til the break of day |
Well sometimes a man |
Can feel this emptiness |
Like a woman |
Has robbed him of his bitter soul |
A woman too |
God knows |
She can feel like this |
And when your world seems so cold |
You gotta let your spirit take control |
Let your soul shine |
It’s better than sunshine |
It’s better than a moonshine |
And damn sure better than rain |
And oh, now people don’t mind |
We all get this way sometimes |
You gotta let your soul shine |
Shine til the break of day |
Soul shine |
It’s better than a sunshine |
It’s better than moonshine |
Damn sure better than rain |
And the people don’t mind |
Cause we all get this way sometimes |
You gotta let your soul shine |
And shine til the break of day |
