Discover the story of the song > My Life – Mary J. Blige

The protagonist is saying that life can be tough, but if you're honest with yourself and trust in a higher power, everything can be okay. They say that they've been through hard times but have found peace by relying on their belief in something greater than themselves. The chorus repeats the idea that if you saw their life, you would see the struggles they've gone through but also the sunshine and happiness that comes from trusting in a higher power.
