THE LIVING PROOF- By Mary J Blige

This song is so powerful I am sure that anyone can relate, these lyrics really touched my heart and made me cry, I felt like she was telling my life story. I hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by, dont forget to share/subscribe. Have a good day.



Its gonna be a long, long journey
Its gonna be an uphill climb
Its gonna be a tough fight
Its gonna be some lonely nights
But I’m ready to carry on.

I’m so glad the worst is over (‘cause it almost took me down)
I can start living now
I feel like I can do anything, yeah
And finally I’m not afraid to breathe.

Anything you say to me,
And everything you do,
You cant deny the truth,
‘Cause I’m the living proof!
So many dont survive,
They just dont make it through
But look at me
I’m the living proof! Oh, yes I am.


Thinking ‘bout life’s been painful. Yes it was.
Took a lot to learn how to smile,
So now I am gonna talk to my people about the storm—about the storm.

Oh, so glad the worst is over (‘cause it almost took me down)
I can start flying now
My best days are right in front of me
And I’m almost there
‘Cause now I’m free!

Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You cant deny the truth
‘Cause I’m the living proof.
So many dont survive.
They just dont make it through.
But look at me
I’m the living proof!

I know where I’m going
‘Cause I know where I’ve been
I’m gonna feel strong, that’s showin’
Im gonna be strong, keep growin’
That’s the way that I will.

Anything you say to me
And everything you do
You cant deny the truth
‘Cause I’m the living proof.
So many dont survive.
They just dont make it through.
But look at me
I’m the living proof!

Nothing about my life had been easy, no.
But nothin’s gonna keep me down, no-down.
‘Cause I know a lot more today
Than I knew yesterday, now
So, I’m ready to carry on,
Oh Lordy. Mmmmm Mmmmm
