Soulshine Gov't Mule When you can't find the light that got you through a cloudy day When the stars ain't shining bright, 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 soul shine, just like my daddy used to, used to say Soulshine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine It's damn sure better than rain And if people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine through 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, make him feel so alone Now and then I feel the cold wind blowing through my aching bones I think back to what my daddy said, boy it's the darkest just before the dawn Let your soul shine 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 sometimes You got to let your soul shine Shine 'til the break of day Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness Like a woman, it's robbed him of his very soul A woman too, God knows she can feel like this And when the world seems cold, you got to let your spirit take control [Solo] Talkin' 'bout soulshine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine It's damn sure better than rain And if 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 I said It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine It's damn sure better than rain And if people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine 'til the break of day [Outro Solo]
