[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
But when I raised my head up to the sky
All of the emptiness was gone (All gone)
If you believe you'll see in time
That everything will be alright
[Chorus]
It's gonna be alright
Everything will be okay (Everything will be okay)
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always (Always)
It's gonna be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Everything will be okay
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always
[Verse 2]
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 need
And now I'm set free, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
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]
It's gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna be alright (It's gonna be alright)
Everything will be okay (Everything will be okay)
This is a testimony (Okay), Mary's story
Trouble don't last always (Trouble don't last always)
It's gonna be alright (Ooh, ooh)
Everything will be okay (Everything will be okay)
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always
[Bridge]
This is my story (Oh)
This is my song (This is my song)
This is the day I celebrate (This is the day I celebrate)
My troubles are gone (Ooh, my troubles are gone)
This is my story (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
This is my song (This is my song, my song)
This is the day I celebrate (This is the day I)
My troubles are gone
[Chorus]
It's gonna 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 gonna be alright
Everything will be okay (This too, this too shall pass)
This is a testimony, Mary's story
Trouble don't last always
[Outro]
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 (Away)
He cared for me when nobody else did (Away)
(Away) He wiped my tears away (Away), oh
Away (Away), away (Away), away
