When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,
BbFEbBb
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
BbFEbBb
When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,
BbFGmAb
Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.
(Chorus)
BbF
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
EbBb
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
BbF
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
GmAbBb
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
I grew up thinkin' 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, blowin' through my achin' bones,
I think back to what my daddy said, he said "Boy, in the darkness before the dawn:"
(Chorus)
GmEb
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
EbBb
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
DmEbA woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
AbF
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
(Chorus)
