Lyrics Testimony - Mary J. Blige

I've had some good days
And I've had some bad days
I know about heartbreak
Didn't think that I could 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 going to be alright
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony
Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's going to 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 (Raise my head)
All of the emptiness was gone (All of it was gone)
If you believe, you'll see in time
That everything will be alright

It's going to be alright (Alright)
Everything will be okay (Everything will be okay)
This is a testimony
Mary's story (My testimony)
Trouble don't last always (Trouble don't last always)

It's going to be alright (Said it's gonna be)
Everything will be okay (Everything will be)
This is a testimony
Mary's story
Trouble don't last always (Always, Always)

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

It's going to be alright (Ooh, Ooh)
Everything will be okay (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 my song)
This is the day I celebrate
My troubles are gone (My troubles are gone)

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

It's going to be alright
Everything will be okay (Everything will be okay)
This is a testimony (Alright)
Mary's story
Trouble don't last always (Trouble don't last, it don't last, it don't last)

It's going to be alright
Everything will be okay (Just choose, just choose your path)
This is a testimony
Mary's story
Trouble don't last always

It's alright (It's alright)
It's okay
He wiped all my tears away (He wiped them away)
It's alright
It's okay
Trouble don't last always (Trouble don't last)

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

Away, away, away

He cared for me (Away)
When nobody else did (Away)
He wiped my tears away (Away)

Away, away, away, away
