When you can't find the light,
That got you through the cloudy days,
and the stars ain't shinin' bright,
and you feel like you've lost your way,
and the candlelights from home,
burn so very far away,
you gotta let your soulshine,
just like my daddy used to say.
He used to say Soulshine, better than sunshine,
better than moonshine, damn sure better than the rain.
Hey now people, don't mind, we all feel this way sometime, gotta let your soulshine,
shine 'til the break of day.
I used to think that I had it made, gonna make it on my own.
Life can take the strongest man, make him feel so alone.
Now and then I feel a cold wind,
blowing through my achin' bones, I think back to what my daddy said,
He said, "Son there is darkness before the dawn."
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul. A woman, too, Lord knows she can feel like this,
when your world seems cold, you gotta let your spirit take control.
