When you canˤt find the light,
That got you through the cloudy days,
When the stars ainˤt shininˤ bright,
You feel like youˤve lost youˤre way,
When those candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Well you got to let your soulshine,
Just like my daddy used to say.

He used to say soulshine,
Itˤs better than sunshine,
Itˤs better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Hey now people donˤt mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Got to let your soul shine,
Shine till the break of day.

I grew up thinkinˤ 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,
Blowinˤ through my achinˤ bones,
I think back to what my daddy said,
He said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn"

Let your soulshine,
Itˤs better than sunshine,
Itˤs better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people donˤt mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gottaˤ 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.
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
And when your world seems cold,
You got to let your spirit take control.

Let your soulshine,
Itˤs better than sunshine,
Itˤs better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
Lord now people donˤt mind,
We all get this way sometimes,
Gottaˤ let your soul shine,
Shine till the break of day.
