Text: Gov't Mule. Soulshine.

When you can't find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shining bright
And it feels like you lost your way
When the candle lights of home
Burn so very far away
Well you got to let your soul shine
Just like my uaddy used to say

He used to say soul shine
It's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than the rain
Hey now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day

Grew up thinking that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
But life can take the strongest man
And make him feel so alone
But now sometimes I feel a cold wind
Blowing through my aching bones
I think back to what my daddy said
He said, "Boy, in this darkness before the dawn"

Let your soul shine
Oh, it's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Yeah now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul
Woman too, God knows, she can feel like this
And when your world seems cold
You got to let your spirit take control

Talking about the soul shine
Better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Lord, now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Yeah, shine on and on and on and on

Oh, it's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Yeah, now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
