Soulshine - The Allman Brothers Band

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 your way When those candle lights of home Burns so very far away Well you got to let your soul shine Just like my mamma used to say. She used to say soulshine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain. And if the people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. Growin' up, I thought I had it made I could make it on my own. But life can take the strongest man Make him feel so all alone. Now sometimes I feel the cold wind Blowin' through my achin bones I think back to what my daddy said He said girl, it's the darkest before the dawn: Let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain. And if the people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. Sometimes a man can feel this emptiness Like a woman has shot down to his very soul. And a woman too, God knows, she can feel like this. And when the world seems cold You got to let your spirit take control. You gotta let your soul shine It's better than sunshine It's better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain. And if the people don't mind We all feel this way sometimes You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day. You gotta let your soul shine, shine through the break of day.

Soulshine When you cant find the light That guides you through a cloudy day When the stars aint shinin bright And you fill like youve lost youre way When the candle lights of home Burn so very far away Well you got to let your soul shine Just like my daddy used to say He used to say soul shine Its better than sunshine Its better than moonshine Damn sure better than rain Hey now people dont mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine 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 Now and then 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 soul shine Its better than sunshine Its better than moonshne Damn sure better than rain Yeah now people dont mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine 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 Let your soul shine Its better than sunshine Its better than moonshne Damn sure better than rain Lord now people dont mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day Oh, its better than sunshine Its better than moonshne Damn sure better than rain Yeah now people dont mind We all get this way sometimes Got to let your soul shine Shine till the break of day

Just one more mornin' I had to wake up with the blues Pulled myself outta bed, yeah Put on my walkin' shoes Went up on the mountain To see what I could see The whole world was fallin' Right down in front of me 'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah, baby Ah, help me, baby Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah Pull myself together Put on a new face Climb down off the hilltop, baby Get back in the race 'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah, baby, yeah Ah, help me, baby Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah Pull myself together Put on a new face Climb down off the hilltop, baby Get back in the race 'Cause I'm hung up on dreams I'll never see, yeah, baby, oh Ah, help me, baby Or this will surely be the end of me, yeah
