Let It Be

By John T. Marck

A brilliant song by McCartney, it first was thought to be about his late mother Mary. However, this spiritually inspired writing is more of a message of peace to the other Beatles'. Written out of his feelings of despair, Paul was saying that in spite of their differences and the imminent break-up, to merely, let it be. In spite of their various disagreements, no one knew when this was recorded in January 1969, that it would be their last single released in March 1970.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be

And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom,

Let it be

And when the broken hearted people, living in the world agree

There will be an answer, Let it be

But though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah there will be an answer,

Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom,

Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom,

Let it be

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow, Let it be

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be, oh there will be an answer,

Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be, there will be an answer,

Let it be Let it be, let it be, let it be,

yeah let it be, whisper words of wisdom,

Let it be
