Soulshine (Alltel Pavilion at Walnut Creek – Raleigh, NC, 8‐10‐2003) Songtext
von The Allman Brothers Band

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 those 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 Soulshine
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 sometime
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.
Life can take the strongest man
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
It's better than sunshine
It′s better than moonshine

Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind
We all get 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 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


It's better than sunshine
It′s better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain.
Lord now people don′t mind
We all get this way sometimes
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
Oh, it's better than sunshine
It′s better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain.
Yeah now people don't mind
We all get this way sometimes
Gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day.
