soulshine

when you can't find the light, that guides you through a cloudy day, when the stars ain't shining bright, and it feels like you've lost your way, when those candle light of home, burn so very far away, well you got to let your soul shine, just like my daddy used to say, he used to say the soulshine, it's better than sunshine, it's better than moonshine, damn sure better than rain, hey now people don't mind, we all get this way sometimes, got to let your soul shine, shine 'til 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, and make him feel so alone, now and then i feel a cold wind, blowin' through my aching bones, i think back to what my daddy said, he said, boy, in the darkness before the dawn, sometimes a man can feel this emptiness, like a woman has robbed him of his very soul, a woman too, god knows, she can feel like this, but hey, when your world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control,
