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

[Chorus]
She used to say soulshine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
And if the people don't mind
We all get this way sometime
Got to let your soul shine, shine through the break of day

Growin up, I thought I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
Life can take the strongest man
Make him feel so all alone
Now sometimes I feel a 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:
[Chorus]
Let your soul shine
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
And if the people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
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
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
Its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Lord now people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
Gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day

Oh, its better than sunshine
Its better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
And if the people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
