Mary J. Blige | Lyrics | Testimony

I've had some good days
And I've had some bad days
I know about heartbreak
Didn't think that I can make it

I know how it feels to have money
I know how it feels to be broke
And I can tell you 'bout lonely
'Cause I've been there before

But when I raised my head up to the sky
All of the emptiness was gone
If you believe you'll see in time
That everything will be alright

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

Through my trials and tribulations, I still believe
That God had a greater plan for me
Exceeded all my expectations
But when he gave me what I needed and now I am set free

But when I raise my head up to the sky
All of the emptiness was gone
If you believe you'll see in time
That everything will be alright

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

This is my story
This is my song
This is the day I celebrate
My troubles are gone

This is my story
This is my song
This is the day I celebrate
My troubles are gone

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's alright, it's okay
He wiped all my tears away
It's alright, it's okay
Trouble don't last always

It's alright, it's okay
He wiped all my tears away
It's alright, it's okay
Trouble don't last always

Away, away, away
He cared for me when nobody else did
He wiped my tears away
Away, away, away
