Soulshine - Beth Hart




Beth Hart - Soul shine

When you can't find the light,
That got you through a cloudy day,
When the stars ain't shinin' bright,
You feel like you've lost you're way,
When those candle lights of home,
Burn so very far away,
Now you got to let your soul shine,
Just like my momma used to say.

She used to say soulshine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
If the people don't mind,
You'll feel this way sometime,
Got to let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

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

Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
If the people don't mind,
We all feel this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness,
Like a woman has shot down 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.

Gotta Let your soul shine,
It's better than sunshine,
It's better than moonshine,
Damn sure better than rain.
If the people don't mind,
We all feel this way sometimes,
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.

Gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day.
