When you can't find the light
To guide you on a cloudy day
When the stars aren't shining bright
And you feel like you lost your way
When those candle lights of hope
Burn so very far away
Oh, you gotta let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
So shine, it's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than rain
Old people don't mind
We all get this way sometime
You gotta let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
I grew up thinking that I had it made,
gonna make it out on my own
Life can take the strongest man
and make him feel so alone
Now and then I feel a cold wind
blowing through my aching bones
I think back to what my daddy said
The darkness always
comes before the dawn
Oh shine, it's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than mine
Oh people don't mind
We all get this way sometime
You gotta let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
Like a woman has another's very soul
And a woman too,
God knows she can feel like this
And when she seems so cold
Gotta let your spirit take control
Ocean, it's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than rye
But people don't mind
We all get this way sometime
You gotta let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
Soul shine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than right
Old people don't lie
We all get this way sometime
You gotta let your soul shine
Shine till the break of day
