Mary J. Blige - Testimony lyrics

I've had some good days 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 [Chorus: x2] 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 [Chorus: x4] 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 [Chorus: x2] It's alright (It's alright) It's okay He wiped all me 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 me 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 when nobody else did He wiped my tears away Away, away, away
