hey guys,
well, last night dad was having band practice, and I was just hanging around listening (its kinda hard not to when you have a full drum set, 2 guitars, a bass, and 2 vocal mics all plugged into amplification, well, all except for the drum set, its loud enough on its own) they were practicing their normal stuff, At Last, Green River, She Talks to Angels, Statesboro Blues, Midnight rider, I know You Rider, etc, etc, etc anyways, one of the songs I had heard them practice every night for the last 2-3 months finally hit me and got to me, really deep....

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.
[chorus]
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:
[chorus]
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.
[chorus]
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.
lets just say I have been overwhelmed, and having a particularly bad couple of days not feeling too great, when things like this click, its amazing
thank god I am starting to feel better today, I wouldnt be surprized if this had something to do with it, so I thought I would share some with you......
