The Allman Brothers Band Soulshine lyrics

When you can't find the light
That got you through the cloudy days
When the stars ain't shinin' bright
You feel like you've lost you're way

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

He used to say soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Yeah, the people don't mind
We'll all feel this way sometimes
You got to let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day

I grew up thinkin' I had it made
And make it on my own
Life can take the strongest man
Make him feel so alone

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

Let your soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain


Yeah, now people don't mind
We'll all feel this way sometimes
You gotta 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 world seems cold
You got to let your spirit take control

Talking 'bout soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain

Yeah, now people don't mind
We'll all feel this way sometimes
Gotta let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day

Oh, it's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
It's damn sure better than rain

Yeah, now people don't mind
We'll all feel this way sometimes
You gotta let your soulshine
Shine till the break of day
