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
