A# F D# A#
When you can't find the light, that got you through the cloudy days,
A# F D# A#
When the stars ain't shinin' bright, you feel like you've lost you're way,
A# F D# A#
When those candle lights of home, burn so very far away,
A# F Gm G#
Well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say.
A# F
He used to say soulshine, it's better than sunshine,
D# A#
It's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain.
A# F
Hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometime,
Gm G# A#
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}
Gm D#
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
D# A#
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul.
Dm D#
A woman too, God knows, she can feel like this.
G# F
And when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control.
{Chorus}
