I said, “It's better than sunshine, it's better than moonshine, yeah
I grew up thinkin' that I had it made, gonna make it on my own
When the candle lights of home burn so very far away
Must I tell you
Hey now people don't mind we all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soul shine, yeah shine on and on and on and on
Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness
I think back to what my daddy said
It's damn sure better than rain, hear me now, hear me now
Lord now people don't mind we all feel this way sometimes
He used to say, “Soul shine, it's better than sunshine
And when the world seem cold, you gotta let your spirit take control
Now and then I feel a cold wind blowin' through my achin' bones
Well you got to let your soul shine just like my daddy used to say
I know it's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain
Talkin' about soul shine, it's better than sunshine
Let your soul shine, it's better than sunshine
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
Yeah now people don't mind, don't you mind
Life can take the strongest man, make him feel so alone
Like a woman has robbed him of his very soul
He said, "Boy, in the darkness just before the dawn"
We all feel this way sometimes 'cause we all get to feel sometime
Better than moonshine, it's damn sure better than rain
It's better than moonshine, it's damn sure better than rain
People now don't mind we all get this way sometimes
You got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
Well a woman too God knows, she can feel like this
