| 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’ve lost your way |
| When those candle lights of home |
| Burn so very far away |
| Well you got to let your soul shine |
| Just like my mama used to say |
| She used to say soulshine |
| It’s better than sunshine |
| It’s better than moonshine |
| Damn sure better than rain |
| And if the people don’t mind |
| We all feel this way sometimes |
| Got to let your soul shine |
| Shine through the break of day |
| Growing up I thought I had it made |
| I could make it on my own |
| But life can take the strongest man |
| Make him feel so alone |
| Now sometimes I feel the cold wind |
| Blowing through my aching bones |
| I think back to what my daddy said |
| He said girl it’s the darkest before the dawn< |
| Let your soul shine |
| It’s better than sunshine |
| It’s better than moonshine |
| Damn sure better than rain |
| And if the people don’t mind |
| We all feel this way sometimes |
| You got to 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 the world seems cold |
| You got to let your spirit take control |
| You got to let your soul shine |
| It’s better than sunshine |
| It’s better than moonshine |
| Damn sure better than rain |
| And if the people don’t mind |
| We all feel this way sometimes |
| You got to let your soul shine |
| Shine through the break of day |
| You got to let your soul shine |
| Shine through the break of day |
