Soul Shine - Larry McCray

When you can’t find the light

That guides you through a cloudy day

When the stars ain’t shining bright

You feel like you’ve lost your way

When those candle lights of home

Burn so very far away

You’ve got to let your soul shine

Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say soulshine

Was better than sunshine

It’s better than a moonshine

It’s damn sure better than rain

And the people don’t mind

Cause we all get this way sometimes

You gotta let your soul shine

And shine til the break of day

I grew up thinking that I had it made

Gonna make it on my own

Love 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

He said boy, at the darkness before the dawn

He used to say soulshine

Was better than sunshine

It’s better than moonshine

And damn sure better than rain

And now people don’t mind

We all get this way sometimes

You gotta let your soul shine

Shine til the break of day

Well sometimes a man

Can feel this emptiness

Like a woman

Has robbed him of his bitter soul

A woman too

God knows

She can feel like this

And when your world seems so cold

You gotta let your spirit take control

Let your soul shine

It’s better than sunshine

It’s better than a moonshine

And damn sure better than rain

And oh, now people don’t mind

We all get this way sometimes

You gotta let your soul shine

Shine til the break of day

Soul shine

It’s better than a sunshine

It’s better than moonshine

Damn sure better than rain

And the people don’t mind

Cause we all get this way sometimes

You gotta let your soul shine

And shine til the break of day
