Gov't Mule - Soulshine (w/ Dave Schools) 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
Yeah, you got to let your soulshine just like my daddy used to say

Used to say soulshine is better than sunshine
Is better than moonshine, is damn sure better than rain
Hey now people, don't mind, we all feel this way sometimes
Got to let your soulshine, shine till the break of day, let me tell you this

I grew up thinkin' that I hadn't 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' bone
I think back to what my daddy said, he said, "Boy, in the darkness
Just before the dawn"

"Let your soulshine, it's better than sunshine
I know it's better than moonshine, damn sure, better than rain"
People, now don't you mind, we all get this way sometime
You 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
Well, a woman too, God knows, she can feel like this
And when the world seem cold, you got to let your spirit take control
That's why I tell you

Talkin' 'bout soulshine, it's better than sunshine
Better than moonshine, it's damn sure better than rain
Hey 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

I said, its better than sunshine, it's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than rain, hey, now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes, got to let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day
