“When you can't find the light

That guides you through a cloudy day

When the stars ain't shinin' bright

And you feel like you’ve lost your 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

It's better than sunshine

It's better than moonshine

Damn sure better than rain

Hey now people don't mind

We all get this way sometimes

Got to let your soul shine

Shine till the break of day”
