Gov't Mule - Soulshine [Live] Lyrics

When you can't find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shinin' bright
And it feels like you've lost your way

When the candle lights of home
Burn so very far away
Well, you got to let your soulshine
Just like my daddy used to say

He used to say soulshine
Oh, it's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Well, now people, don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day

I grew up thinkin' that I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
But life can take the strongest man
And make him feel so alone

And now sometimes I feel a cold wind
Blowin' through my achin' bones
I think back to what my daddy said
He said, "Boy, in this darkness before the dawn"

Let your soulshine
Oh, it's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Well, now people, don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day

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
And when your little world seems cold
Got to let your spirit take control

Talking about soulshine
Better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Well, now people, don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soulshine
Yeah, shine on and on and on and on

Oh, it's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Well, now people, don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day
